Trademark renewal fees in Singapore: costs, due dates and grace period
You renew a Singapore trademark with IPOS, in SGD, every 10 years from the filing date. The renewal window opens six months before expiry. The price escalates in three steps: SGD 480 per class on time, 700 in the six-month grace period, and 770 to restore the mark after that. Twelve months from expiry is a hard cliff.
What are the trademark renewal due dates in Singapore?
Singapore counts the 10-year term from the filing date. The renewal window opens six months before the expiry date and closes on it.
The first renewal falls due 10 years from the filing date, payable to IPOS. Renewal can be requested from six months before the expiry date, and not earlier.
For example, if the filing date is 2015-03-15, the renewal window opens on 2024-09-15 and the deadline is 2025-03-15.
Each renewal extends protection for a further 10 years, on the same window. Protection is renewable indefinitely, with no limit on the number of renewals.
For example, once renewed in 2025, the next renewal will be due by 2035-03-15.
In Singapore, trademarks are renewed through the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (IPOS), the government agency responsible for administering intellectual property rights. Renewal is required to keep a Singapore trademark registration active.
Singapore is a member of the Madrid Protocol. If your trademark is an International Registration designating Singapore, the renewal of that international registration is handled through WIPO Madrid System procedures. IPOS charges the same renewal fee per class for international registrations designating Singapore as it does for national marks.
Your renewal window opens six months before expiry, here 15 Sep 2024, and the deadline is 15 Mar 2025. Miss it and the mark can still be renewed until 15 Sep 2025 at SGD 700 per class instead of 480. Each renewal adds another 10 years, with no limit on how many times.
Official trademark renewal fees by year in Singapore
Official fees payable to the IPOS, per class, in SGD. One renewal covers one class; every further class is charged on top.
| Fee type | Official fee (SGD) |
|---|---|
| Renewal, per class (on or before expiry) | 480 |
| Late renewal, per class (within 6 months of expiry) | 700 |
| Restoration, per class (6 to 12 months after expiry) | 770 |
| Typical 3-class renewal | 1,440 |
Singapore escalates in three steps on one form: the standard fee on or before expiry, a higher late renewal fee for six months after it, and a higher restoration fee for a final six months once the mark has been removed. All three are charged per class. No extension of time is available for either step.

Missed a trademark renewal deadline in Singapore?
Singapore escalates in three steps on one form. Renew on or before expiry and it is SGD 480 per class. For six months after expiry the mark shows as Expired (Late Renewal Possible) and the fee is SGD 700 per class. After that it is removed and shows as Removed (Restoration Possible), with a final six months to restore at SGD 770 per class. No extension of time is available for either step, so twelve months from expiry is absolute.
If the renewal deadline of 15 Mar 2025 is missed, the mark stays renewable until 15 Sep 2025. Settle the renewal fee and the late fee inside that window to keep it in force.

1. When is the first trademark renewal filing due in Singapore?
The first renewal is due at the end of the initial registration term, which is 10 years from the filing date. You can file the renewal application starting 6 months before the expiry date. A 6-month grace period after expiry is available at the late renewal fee.
2. Can I renew my trademark after missing the deadline?
Yes. During the 6-month grace period after expiry, you can still renew by paying the late renewal fee of SGD 700 per class instead of the standard SGD 480. If the grace period also closes, you can apply to restore the registration at SGD 770 per class.
3. How long does a Singapore trademark last?
A Singapore trademark registration lasts 10 years from the filing date, and each renewal extends it for another 10 years. There is no limit to the number of times a trademark can be renewed, as long as renewal fees are paid on time.
4. Does IPOS require proof of use for renewal?
IPOS does not require proof of use in order to renew a trademark. However, a registered mark can be revoked under Section 22 of the Trade Marks Act.
