Renewals and recordals keep trademark rights usable

Renewal continues the registered scope; assignments, licences, address changes and other recordals keep ownership and transaction data aligned with reality. Outdated register information can complicate enforcement and future portfolio transactions.

We check the registration number, proprietor, covered classes, renewal period and the documents supporting the requested recordal. Related marks can be reviewed together to prevent inconsistent ownership data across a family.

Recordals are sequenced when a renewal and ownership change overlap. Filing them in the wrong order can create document inconsistencies or unnecessary follow-up requests, so the current register extract and transaction completion date are reviewed together.

Information we need

Send the registration number, current owner details, requested change, supporting documents and any relevant deadline.

Renewal and recordal scopes should not be confused

A renewal maintains the registration for the next term, while a recordal updates information such as ownership, name or address. We check the register, the requested change and the supporting document before filing, including whether the instruction concerns all or only part of the protected goods and services. Where several changes are pending, their filing order is planned to keep the ownership history coherent.

Clear scope before instruction

We confirm the required documents, procedural steps and professional fees before any filing is started.

Trademark renewal window and recordal documents

A national Turkish trademark registration lasts ten years from filing. The ordinary renewal request and payment window is the six months before expiry; renewal remains possible during the six months after expiry on payment of the additional fee. A renewal can cover all or part of the registered goods and services.

Send the registration number, proprietor details, renewal scope and expiry date. For an assignment, identify both parties, the transferred rights and the executed agreement: assignment agreements require notarisation under Turkish law. Name changes, mergers and address updates require evidence appropriate to the transaction.

An international registration renewed through WIPO is a different route from renewal of a national Turkish registration. Tell us whether the number is a Turkish national registration or a Madrid international registration so the correct procedure is selected.
