Language
A Thai trademark registration lasts 10 years and must be renewed to stay in force. Our team at Brealant tracks your renewal deadlines and manages the filing so your protection never lapses.
Legal Definition of Trademark Renewal
Renewal, under the Trademark Act B.E. 2534 (1991, as amended), is the filing of a renewal application and payment of the prescribed fee to DIP to extend a registration for a further 10-year term.
Purpose and Function of Renewal
Renewal must generally be filed within 90 days before the expiration date. Thailand also allows a further 90-day grace period after expiry, provided a surcharge is paid, so a missed deadline isn't always the end of the road — but timing still matters.
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.

In Thailand, renewal falls due on the 10-year anniversary of the registration date. DIP generally accepts renewal applications within the 90 days immediately before expiry, and also allows a further 90-day grace period after expiry on payment of a surcharge, before the registration is removed from the register.
A lapsed trademark loses its registration and can potentially be re-registered by someone else, so missing a renewal can mean losing your brand protection entirely. Brealant's renewal tracking removes that risk from your calendar.
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 90-day post-expiry grace period, available on payment of a surcharge, is the outer limit — after that, the registration is removed and cannot simply be reinstated.
Doesn't Fix Non-Use
Renewal doesn't protect against a separate non-use cancellation action if the mark hasn't genuinely 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.
Renewal keeps the full benefit of your original registration in place, including
Exclusive Nationwide Rights
Your continued exclusive right to use the mark across Thailand 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 straightforward administrative step that preserves everything your original registration achieved.

Grace Period (If Needed)
A further 90-day window after expiry remains available, with a surcharge, before the registration is removed.
Renewal itself is typically processed by DIP within a matter of weeks of a complete application, whether filed in the window before expiry or during the post-expiry grace period.
Renewal costs are predictable and modest compared to re-filing from scratch

The DIP renewal fee is generally tiered similarly to the original filing fee, typically in the range of approximately ฿2,000 to ฿10,000 per class depending on the number of items of goods or services — we confirm the exact figure ahead of your deadline.
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.
Beyond renewal, Brealant can support ongoing monitoring for conflicting new applications, licensing arrangements, and enforcement, so your registration keeps working for your business well beyond each renewal date.

You have a further 90-day grace period after expiry to renew, on payment of a surcharge; after that, the registration is removed from the register and a fresh application may be needed.
No, renewal in Thailand is generally based on filing the application and paying the fee within the window, rather than proving use.
DIP generally accepts renewal applications within the 90 days immediately before the expiry date.
Yes, we can take over renewal management for existing Thai registrations regardless of who filed the original application.
Generally a Power of Attorney and the registration certificate details — proof of use isn't required, which keeps the renewal filing itself relatively simple.
Renewal fees are generally tiered based on the number of items of goods or services covered — we quote the exact figure ahead of your renewal deadline.
Yes, as with filing, a foreign owner without a domicile in Thailand must renew through a locally appointed agent, so it's worth arranging this well ahead of the deadline.
The registered owner on file with DIP at the time of renewal is responsible, so it's important that any assignment is recorded promptly to avoid confusion over who receives renewal reminders.
No, an international registration is renewed centrally through WIPO rather than directly with DIP, though the underlying protection in Thailand depends on that central renewal being completed.
Enforcement rights become uncertain once a registration lapses, which is another reason to renew within the 90-day window before expiry rather than relying on the grace period.
