# How Long Does a Trade Mark Last, and How Do I Renew It in Singapore?

A registered trade mark in Singapore lasts 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely via Form TM19 within the 6-month window before expiry.

## How Long Does a Trade Mark Last, and How Do I Renew It in Singapore?

A registered trade mark in Singapore is protected for **10 years from the date of filing**. Unlike copyright, which arises automatically, a registered trade mark does not last forever on its own — it must be actively renewed to stay in force.

### Renewing Your Trade Mark

- A trade mark can be **renewed indefinitely, once every 10 years**.
- The renewal window opens **6 months before the expiry date** of the current registration.
- Renewal is filed using **Form TM19** through IPOS Digital Hub.
- The official renewal fee is **S$480 per class** (on or before expiry).

### If You Miss the Deadline

If you do not renew before expiry, a **late renewal** is still possible during the 6-month grace period after expiry, at a higher fee of **S$700 per class**. If that window is also missed, the mark lapses — but it may be restored by filing for restoration (Form TM19), subject to the restoration fee of **S$770 per class** and IPOS’ discretion.

### Why Timely Renewal Matters

Failure to renew on time means loss of registered rights, leaving your brand exposed to use by competitors. Because a registration can be renewed indefinitely, a well-managed trade mark can remain a protectable business asset for as long as you keep renewing it.

*Note: the figures above are official IPOS statutory fees only. If you engage a trade mark agent or IP lawyer to handle the renewal on your behalf, their professional fees will apply in addition to the official fees.*

*Renewal rules and fees are set by IPOS and subject to change. Verify current requirements on the IPOS website before your renewal date.*
