Check a trade mark renewal against the office renewal page
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the register extract, record the trade mark number, the renewal due date, the number of classes, whether the renewal is being paid before the due date or in the six months after it, and whether payment is online or by another method. Do not calculate a fee and do not file the renewal.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer checks the date and the classes against the register, decides whether the renewal is in time, and pays the fee the current office page states. The lawyer does not treat a reminder notice as removing the owner's responsibility to renew.
