Trademark Renewal and IP Watch for Noida Businesses
A trademark filed when a brand's first Noida shop opened may now be reaching its ten-year mark, with a new warehouse address, a new director and a wider product line behind it. Renewal is easy to postpone because nothing seems to break on the day the date passes. Yet a lapsed registration can be removed from the register, and a stranger may file a similar mark in the meantime. PC Media House keeps a diary of expiry dates, prepares renewals and can watch the weekly Trade Marks Journal for similar filings. It is based in Delhi and handles trademark renewal online for brands in Noida, with calls and meetings by appointment.
Relevant for businesses around: Sector 18, Sector 38A, Sector 62, Sector 16A (Noida Film City), Noida City Centre, Sector 15, Sector 128, NSEZ.
Why Noida Businesses Look for Trademark Renewal
Noida is home to many kinds of brands: retailers and food outlets in the Sector 18 and Sector 38A mall districts, software firms in Sector 62, manufacturers in the industrial areas, and media businesses with show and channel names in Film City. Brands grow, change addresses and add product lines, and the details recorded against the mark often fall behind. Renewal is a good time to check the owner's name, address for service and the classes covered. An IP watch matters when a brand becomes known, because similar marks tend to appear then, and the opposition window to act is limited. We track dates for each class and each mark separately, because renewal and fees are charged per class.
Pricing and Fees for Trademark Renewal
Renewal fees are set by the First Schedule to the Trade Marks Rules, 2017 and are charged per class. The table shows the amounts published by IP India, with the PC Media House professional fee.
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Renewal on or before expiry, Form TM-R | ₹9,000 per class by e-filing; ₹10,000 per class physical | The e-filing amount is the one most applicants pay. |
| Renewal within six months after expiry | Renewal fee plus surcharge of ₹4,500 per class by e-filing (₹5,000 physical) | Total ₹13,500 per class by e-filing, ₹15,000 physical. |
| Restoration and renewal, after six months and within one year of expiry | Renewal fee plus ₹9,000 per class by e-filing (₹10,000 physical) | Total ₹18,000 per class by e-filing, ₹20,000 physical. The Registrar has discretion. |
| Notice of opposition, Form TM-O (IP watch follow-up) | ₹2,700 per class by e-filing; ₹3,000 per class physical | Payable only if you decide to oppose a conflicting mark. |
| PC Media House professional fee | Custom quote | Depends on the number of marks and classes, the date position and whether IP watch is included. Quoted in writing before work starts. |
Government fees are as published on ipindia.gov.in at the time of checking in October 2026. Fees can be revised by notification, so we confirm them again on the day of filing.
What changes the cost or timeline:
- Number of registered marks and the number of classes under each, since government fees are per class
- Date position: early or on-time renewal is simpler than late renewal or restoration
- Whether records need updating first, such as change of name, address or ownership
- Whether you want renewal only or an ongoing IP watch, and how many classes and variants are watched
- How often you want written watch reports, and whether drafting of notices or oppositions is included
How the Process Works Online
Step 1: Portfolio and expiry check
You share registration numbers, classes and certificates. We confirm the expiry date of each mark and where it sits: early window, on time, grace period or restoration. (Day 1 to 2)
Step 2: Details and ownership review
We compare the registered proprietor, address for service and email on the register with your current facts. Any change of name, address or ownership is flagged to be recorded first. (Day 2 to 3)
Step 3: Quote and authorisation
You receive a custom quote in writing, with government fees shown separately. Once you approve, you sign the authorisation needed for us to act on your behalf. (Day 3 to 4)
Step 4: Form TM-R filing
We prepare Form TM-R for each class, complete the e-filing and fee payment, and share the filing acknowledgement. (Within 1 to 3 working days of approval)
Step 5: Registry follow-up
We watch the status of each application and share the Registry's communication, including any query. The final renewal certificate depends on the Registry's own processing. (After filing)
Step 6: Diary and optional IP watch
We set the next expiry date in your diary and, if you choose, start the Journal watch for each mark and class. (Ongoing)
A renewal application can be filed up to one year before expiry under Rule 57 of the Trade Marks Rules, 2017, on time up to the expiry date, or within six months after expiry with a surcharge; restoration can be sought after that within one year of expiry.

Local Notes for Noida
Trademark renewal is a central filing with the Trade Marks Registry under IP India, made online, so the process for a Noida owner is the same as anywhere else in India. Registry communication goes to the address for service and email recorded for the mark, so keeping them current matters more than where you sit. Renewal can be filed up to a year before expiry, and late renewal carries a surcharge. Pricing is a custom quote after we see your marks, classes and dates.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes. Form TM-R is filed online with the Trade Marks Registry, and the government fee is paid electronically, at a lower e-filing rate than physical filing.

It can. The Registry sends communication to the address for service and email on record, so an outdated address risks missed notices. If the owner's name, address or constitution has changed, the records may need updating before or along with renewal. We check the register for these mismatches when we review your marks.
A renewal can still be sought after expiry, within six months with a surcharge, and restoration may be possible after that within one year of expiry, at the Registrar's discretion. The cost rises with each stage. Please send us the registration details soon, and we will tell you which stage applies.
It depends on how much the brand matters and how crowded your category is.
