Trade marks
Renewals & portfolio
Trade marks last only as long as they are renewed and used. Romanian and EU marks run in ten-year terms, renewable indefinitely.
What this covers
Renewal docketing and filing for Romanian, EU and Madrid-designated marks; recordal of assignments, mergers, name and address changes and licences; and portfolio review — pruning what is unused, consolidating what overlaps, and flagging non-use exposure before an opponent does.
Common questions
- When must a trade mark be renewed?
- Romanian and EU marks run in ten-year terms and can be renewed indefinitely. We docket the deadline — and the grace period that follows it — so a renewal is never missed.
- What happens if a mark is not used?
- After five years without genuine use, a registration becomes vulnerable to revocation for non-use and harder to enforce. Portfolio review flags that exposure before an opponent exploits it.
