Protecting Your Brand with Brealant's Expertise

Legal Definition of Trademark Renewal
Renewal, under Ley N° 19.039, is the process of extending a registration for a further 10-year term by filing the request and paying the prescribed fee before, or shortly after, expiry.
Purpose and Function of Renewal
Renewal keeps your registration in force without requiring you to re-file or re-clear the mark from scratch, preserving your original filing date and priority.
Protecting Your Trademark
A missed renewal causes the registration to lapse, potentially allowing someone else to register the same or a similar mark, so ongoing tracking matters.

Clear, Simple Steps to Renew Your Trademark

In Chile, renewal falls due on the 10-year anniversary of the registration date. INAPIaccepts renewal requests in the months leading up to expiry and allows a graceperiod afterwards, subject to a late fee, before the registration is cancelledfor non-renewal.

Safeguarding Your Trademark in Chile — With Brealant by Your Side

A lapsedtrademark loses its registration and can potentially be re-registered by someoneelse, so missing a renewal can mean losing your brand protection entirely. Brealant's renewal tracking removes that risk from your calendar.

Limitations

What Renewal Cannot Do

Renewal keeps a registration alive, but it has boundaries

No Substantive Changes
Renewal cannot be used to change the mark itself, or add new goods or services.
Grace Period Only
The post-expiry grace window is the outer limit — after that, the registration is cancelled and cannot simply be reinstated.
Doesn't Fix Non-Use
Renewal doesn't protect against a separate non-use cancellation action if the mark genuinely hasn't been used.
Doesn't Expand Protection
Renewal maintains existing rights; it doesn't broaden the scope of protection beyond what was originally registered.
Ownership Must Be Current
Renewal doesn't update ownership records — an assignment must be separately recorded if the owner has changed.

Brealant reviews your registration details as part of every renewal to flag any of these issues early.

What a Trademark Renewal Protects

Renewal keeps the full benefit of your original registration in place, including

Exclusive Nationwide Rights
Your continued exclusive right to use the mark across Chile for the registered goods/services.
Your Filing Date
The priority and seniority attached to your original filing date.
Enforcement Standing
Your ability to take infringement or opposition action based on a live registration.
Brand Value
The accumulated goodwill and recognition built up under a continuously registered mark.

Renewal is a simple administrative step that preserves everything your original registration achieved.

Understanding Trademark Renewal Costs in Chile — Simplified with Brealant

Renewal costs are predictable and modest compared to re-filing from scratch

Official Filing Fees
The INAPI renewal fee is calculated per class, broadly in line with the fees paid on original registration, plus a late fee if renewed during the grace period.
Professional fees
Brealant's fee for managing the renewal is fixed and quoted in advance, covering tracking, filing, and confirmation.

These costs are far lower than the cost of losing protection and having to re-file and re-clear the mark from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I miss my Chilean trademark renewal?

INAPI allows a grace period after expiry to renew with a late fee; after that, the registration is cancelled and generally cannot be reinstated.

Do I need to prove I'm still using the mark to renew?

No, renewal itself does not require evidence of use — payment of the fee and filing of the request is sufficient.

How early can I renew?

INAPI accepts renewal requests in the months leading up to the expiry date; Brealant confirms the exact window for your registration.

Can Brealant renew a trademark it didn't originally file?

Yes, we can take over renewal management for existing Chilean registrations regardless of who filed the original application.

How much does it cost to renew a trademark in Chile?

The official INAPI renewal fee is charged per class, broadly comparable to the original registration fees — Brealant quotes the exact peso amount, plus our fixed professional fee, before you commit.

Who is authorised to file a trademark renewal in Chile?

The registered owner or their authorised representative; foreign owners act through a Chilean-domiciled attorney, which Brealant provides.

Can I change the mark or the goods/services list when renewing?

No, renewal preserves the registration exactly as granted; you can choose to narrow the goods or services but can't add new elements or expand the scope.

Does renewal affect licenses or assignments already recorded against the mark?

No, recorded licenses and assignments remain in effect after renewal — it's simply a good moment to confirm the register is up to date.

If my Chilean mark was obtained through the Madrid System, do I renew it with INAPI or WIPO?

International registrations are renewed centrally through WIPO; marks filed directly with INAPI are renewed with INAPI — Brealant confirms which applies to your registration.

Is proof of use required to renew a Chilean trademark?

No, renewal itself doesn't require evidence of use, though an unused mark can still face a separate non-use cancellation action from a third party regardless of renewal.
