1Nature of Service

CapitalBox acts as a business consultancy and documentation facilitator for the purpose of renewing an existing registered trademark in India. CapitalBox is not a Government authority, law firm, or a registered trademark agent, and does not itself examine, approve, or record any renewal.

The role of CapitalBox is limited to verifying the current status of the trademark on the IP India register, preparing the renewal application (Form TM-R) and supporting documents, and filing the renewal on the applicant's behalf through the official IP India portal. Engaging CapitalBox's services does not guarantee that the renewal will be processed within any particular timeframe — the final recording of renewal rests exclusively with the Trade Marks Registry.

2CapitalBox Consultancy Fee

The consultancy fee of ₹3,000 + GST is CapitalBox's fixed professional fee for trademark renewal facilitation. It is payable at the time the customer initiates the service and is separate from, and in addition to, the statutory government renewal fee described in Section 3.

The fee covers:

  • Verification of the trademark's current status, class(es) and renewal due date on the IP India register
  • Preparation of the renewal application (Form TM-R) and, where applicable, an updated Power of Attorney (Form TM-48)
  • Filing of the renewal application on the IP India portal and obtaining the filing acknowledgement
  • Application status tracking until the renewal is recorded against the trademark
The consultancy fee covers renewal filing support only. If the trademark's proprietor details have changed since the last filing, recording an assignment (Form TM-P) is a separate add-on service and must typically be completed before the renewal can be processed.

3Government Renewal Fee

In addition to the CapitalBox consultancy fee, a statutory government renewal fee is payable to IP India, per trademark class being renewed. Unlike the fee for a fresh registration, the renewal fee does not carry a concessional rate for individuals, MSMEs or startups — it applies uniformly per class, per mark.

On-time renewal (e-filing)Per class, filed on or before the expiry date
₹9,000
On-time renewal (physical filing)Per class
₹10,000
Late renewal surchargePer class, in addition to the renewal fee, within the 6-month grace period after expiry
+ ₹4,500
Restoration fee (Form TM-R, post grace period)Per class, if the mark has been removed from the register
~ ₹18,000
Multi-class trademarks require the renewal fee to be paid separately for each class. Government fees are fixed by the Trade Marks Rules, 2017 and may be revised by the Government from time to time; CapitalBox will confirm the exact applicable amount before filing.

4Renewal Timeline & Deadlines

A registered trademark is valid for 10 years from the date of registration. Renewal must be filed to keep the mark in force, and the process can be initiated well before the expiry date.

Renewal window opens
1 year before expiry
On-time renewal (standard fee)
Up to the expiry date
Late renewal (with surcharge)
Up to 6 months after expiry
Removal from register / restoration required
6–12 months after expiry
Mark permanently struck off; fresh application required
After 12 months, no renewal/restoration filed
If a trademark is not renewed within 12 months of expiry and no restoration is filed, it is permanently removed from the register under Section 25 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, and the original priority date is lost. A third party may then apply for the same or a similar mark. Customers are strongly advised to initiate renewal well before the expiry date.

5Refund & Cancellation

The CapitalBox consultancy fee is non-refundable once status verification or drafting of the renewal application has commenced, as it represents the cost of professional work already rendered, irrespective of the timeframe in which the Registry records the renewal.

The government renewal fee, once paid to IP India, is governed by IP India's own refund policy and is not refundable by CapitalBox. If a customer wishes to withdraw a request before filing has begun, they may request cancellation in writing; any refund in such cases, if applicable, shall be at the sole discretion of CapitalBox.

6Important Information

CapitalBox is an independent business consultancy and documentation facilitator and is not a Government authority, law firm, or registered trademark agent. Recording of the renewal, and any correspondence regarding discrepancies in proprietor details or class descriptions, rests exclusively with the Trade Marks Registry (IP India).

Renewal fees and grace-period surcharges are fixed by the Trade Marks Rules, 2017 and are subject to revision by the Government. CapitalBox does not control, and makes no assurance regarding, IP India's processing timelines.

Customers are advised to independently verify the current status, class(es) and exact renewal due date of their trademark on the IP India public search portal before initiating the renewal request.

7Customer Responsibilities

The customer is responsible for providing accurate registration details, including the trademark's application/registration number, class(es), and current proprietor details, and for confirming these against the IP India register. CapitalBox relies on the information provided by the customer and is not responsible for any delay, discrepancy, or rejection arising from incomplete, incorrect, or outdated information furnished by the customer.

The customer is also responsible for initiating the renewal request with sufficient time before the expiry date, and for promptly signing and returning any updated Power of Attorney or authorisation documents required for filing.

8Data & Privacy

Personal, brand and registration information shared by the customer will be used by CapitalBox solely for the purpose of verifying trademark status and preparing and filing the renewal application, and may be submitted to IP India as necessary to process the renewal. CapitalBox takes reasonable measures to protect customer data in accordance with applicable law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

9Limitation of Liability

CapitalBox shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or claim arising from delay in processing by IP India, removal of the trademark from the register due to a missed deadline that was not communicated to CapitalBox in time, or any act or omission of IP India. CapitalBox's liability, where applicable, shall in no event exceed the amount of the consultancy fee actually paid by the customer to CapitalBox for the specific service in question.

10Service Commitment

CapitalBox commits to the following standards while assisting customers with trademark renewal:

  • The consultancy fee, government renewal fee and applicable surcharges are disclosed upfront, in writing, before the customer makes any payment
  • Customers are proactively informed of their trademark's renewal due date wherever it has been shared with CapitalBox
  • Customer and brand information is used only for the purpose of renewal facilitation and is not sold or shared for unrelated marketing purposes
  • Genuine complaints are acknowledged and addressed within a reasonable and communicated timeframe
  • Communication with customers is conducted in clear, simple language, avoiding misleading claims about processing timelines
This commitment reflects CapitalBox's own service standard as a consultancy and documentation facilitator. It is separate from, and does not substitute, the statutory renewal process independently administered by the Trade Marks Registry.

11Grievance Redressal

In case of any concern, complaint, or dispute relating to the services rendered by CapitalBox, customers may raise the matter through the official contact channels provided by CapitalBox. CapitalBox will endeavour to acknowledge and address genuine grievances within a reasonable timeframe.

12Legal Compliance & Governing Law

Services are provided under, and this document is governed by, applicable Indian laws. The relevance of each law to CapitalBox's trademark renewal facilitation services is explained below:

Trade Marks Act, 1999 (Section 25)

Governs the 10-year validity period of a registered trademark and the process for its renewal, late renewal within the grace period, and restoration after removal. CapitalBox's renewal filing work is carried out with direct reference to the requirements of this Section and the Trade Marks Rules, 2017.

Indian Contract Act, 1872

Governs the contractual relationship between CapitalBox and the customer. It applies because the moment a customer pays the consultancy fee and agrees to these terms, a valid contract is formed — this Act defines how that agreement is made, what makes it enforceable, and what happens if either party fails to honour its obligations (breach of contract).

⬇ Download Act PDF (India Code)

Consumer Protection Act, 2019

Applies because the customer is availing a paid service (renewal facilitation) from CapitalBox, making them a "consumer" under law. This Act protects customers against unfair trade practices and deficiency in service, and gives them the right to approach a Consumer Forum if the facilitation service is not delivered as promised.

⬇ Download Act PDF (India Code)

Information Technology Act, 2000

Applies because the entire renewal process — application submission, document upload, digital communication, and online fee payment through the IP India portal — happens electronically. This Act gives legal recognition to electronic records, digital signatures, and online transactions.

⬇ Download Act PDF (India Code)

Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023

Applies because CapitalBox collects and processes personal and business data of the proprietor (identity proof, registration details) for filing with IP India. This Act regulates how such personal data must be collected, used, stored, and protected, and requires CapitalBox to obtain consent and safeguard the data against misuse.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at the location of CapitalBox's registered place of business.

16Frequently Asked Questions

No. CapitalBox is an independent business consultancy and documentation facilitator. It assists with status verification, drafting and filing of the renewal, but recording the renewal is handled exclusively by IP India, the Trade Marks Registry.
No. The consultancy fee covers the status verification, drafting and filing work already carried out and is non-refundable once that work has begun, regardless of how long IP India takes to record the renewal.
No. The government renewal fee — ₹9,000 per class for e-filing (₹10,000 per class physical) — is a separate statutory payment made directly to IP India and is billed on top of the CapitalBox consultancy fee.
Renewal can still be filed within a 6-month grace period after expiry, with an additional late surcharge of around ₹4,500 per class on top of the standard renewal fee. If more than 12 months have passed without renewal or restoration, the mark is permanently removed and a fresh application is required.
The renewal window opens up to 1 year before the expiry date. Filing early, well ahead of expiry, avoids any late surcharge and reduces the risk of the mark lapsing due to processing delays.
Your information is used only to verify your trademark's status and process your renewal filing, and is submitted to IP India as needed for the application. It is handled in line with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
