In the European Union, trademarks are renewed through the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). Renewal is required to keep an EU trademark (EUTM) registration in force across all EU Member States.
The European Union is also a member of the Madrid System. If your trademark is an International Registration designating the European Union, renewal is handled through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), not directly by EUIPO. EUIPO will be notified of the renewal after it is processed by WIPO.
Trademark protection in the European Union is granted for a 10-year period counted from the filing date of the application, and each renewal extends protection for an additional 10 years. EU trademarks can be renewed indefinitely.
Renewal can be filed within the 6 months before the expiry date. The renewal request and fee must be submitted within this period.
The European Union also provides a 6-month grace period after expiry. If renewal is filed during this grace period, an additional late fee applies. If renewal is not completed by the end of the grace period, the trademark registration will expire.
For example, if the filing date is 2020-04-16, the first renewal window is 2029-10-16 to 2030-04-16.
If missed, you can still renew during the grace period until 2030-10-16..
Once renewed, the next renewal will be due by 2040-04-16, and so on for every subsequent 10-year period.

In the EUIPO, trademarks are just one form of intellectual property. Other important IP rights include patents, utility models, and designs. Explore our patent renewal pages for country specific guidance and official fee information.

The first renewal is due at the end of the initial registration term, which is 10 years from the filing date of the trademark application. Renewal can be filed within the 6 months before expiry. If this window is missed, the European Union provides a 6-month grace period after expiry, during which renewal is still possible with a late fee. If renewal is not completed by the end of the grace period, the registration will expire.
Yes. If you miss the standard renewal window, EUIPO allows renewal during a 6-month grace period after the expiration date. An additional late fee applies. If renewal is not completed during this grace period, the trademark will expire.
An EU trademark is valid for 10 years from the filing date. Each successful renewal extends protection for another 10 years. There is no limit to the number of times an EU trademark can be renewed, provided renewal fees are paid on time.
The EUIPO does not require proof of use as part of the trademark renewal application itself. However, EU trademarks are subject to non-use revocation proceedings, where third parties can request revocation if a mark has not been genuinely used in the European Union for five consecutive years.
