Trademark Renewal Management Guide

Step 1: Look up your registration

Enter the KIPO registration number of the trademark you want to manage, or upload an Excel file. Brandit automatically retrieves the following from KIPO:

Trademark name (word, figurative, or combined)
Right holder information
Registration date and current renewal cycle
Expiration date and estimated renewal fee
Designated classes and goods/services

Step 2: Monitor deadlines

Registered trademarks appear in the managed list at a glance. Brandit sends automatic reminders as the expiration date approaches:

1 year before expiration: first email (renewal window opens)
6 months before expiration: second email + dashboard banner
3 months before expiration: third reminder
After expiration (grace period): weekly alerts for 6 months

Step 3: Choose renewal scope and request filing

Select the designated classes you want to renew and check out — Brandit files the renewal application on your behalf. Select multiple items for bulk payment:

Renew all classes or a selected subset
Renewal application drafted and filed with KIPO automatically
Guaranteed filing within the statutory deadline
Receipt and renewal certificate emailed after acceptance

Step 4: Long-term management

Trademarks can be renewed every 10 years indefinitely. Brandit automatically manages the next cycle:

Next 10-year deadline set automatically
Right holder information updated on transfer
Guidance provided when use evidence is requested
Renewal history and receipts accessible from the managed list
