Section 25:
Duration, renewal, removal and restoration of registration.
(1) The registration of a trade
mark, after the commencement of this Act, shall be for a period of ten years, but may be renewed from
time to time in accordance with the provisions of this section.
(2) The Registrar shall, on application made by the registered proprietor of a trade mark in the
prescribed manner and within the prescribed period and subject to payment of the prescribed fee, renew
the registration of the trade mark for a period of ten years from the date of expiration of the original
registration or of the last renewal of registration, as the case may be (which date is in this section referred
to as the expiration of the last registration).
(3) At the prescribed time before the expiration of the last registration of a trade mark the Registrar
shall send notice in the prescribed manner to the registered proprietor of the date of expiration and the
conditions as to payment of fees and otherwise upon which a renewal of registration may be obtained,
and, if at the expiration of the time prescribed in that behalf those conditions have not been duly complied
with the Registrar may remove the trade mark from the register:
Provided that the Registrar shall not remove the trade mark from the register if an application is made
in the prescribed form and the prescribed fee and surcharge is paid within six months from the expiration
of the last registration of the trade mark and shall renew the registration of the trade mark for a period of
ten years under sub-section (2).
(4) Where a trade mark has been removed from the register for non-payment of the prescribed fee, the
Registrar shall, after six months and within one year from the expiration of the last registration of the
trade mark, on receipt of an application in the prescribed form and on payment of the prescribed fee, if
satisfied that it is just so to do, restore the trade mark to the register and renew the registration of the trade
mark either generally or subject to such conditions or limitations as he thinks fit to impose, for a period of
ten years from the expiration of the last registration.
