Early Renewal Application Rejected


The Taiwan Intellectual Property Office (TIPO) has stated that if a trademark renewal application is filed more than six months before the expiration of the registration term, the application will be rejected.

According to the relevant provisions of the Trademark Act, an application for renewal of the term of trademark rights should be filed within six months before the expiration of the term; but in practice, the TIPO has never strictly enforced this provision. However, to avoid disputes, any application filed on or after September 1st, 2010 that does not comply with the provision will not be accepted.
