Costs at a glance
What the price includes and what the office charges
Our fee: €169 (DE) or €229 (EU) fixed price for the deadline check, renewal and office correspondence. You pay the official fees for 10 more years directly to the office:
DPMA (DE)
€750 incl. 3 classes · €260 per class from the 4th
EUIPO (EU)
€850 incl. 1 class · €50 for the 2nd, €150 for each additional one
Plus, in case of late payment: a €50 surcharge (DPMA) or 25% surcharge (EUIPO) during the 6-month grace period. Not included: official fees, changes to the substance of the trademark (this requires a new application), recordal of a change of ownership (available as a variant with transfer).
Check the deadline first, then renew
Renewal is due when the term of protection expires: 10 years from the filing date. Sounds simple, but there are two pitfalls: No office renews automatically. Without payment on time, the trademark lapses completely, along with its priority. If you file again afterward, your new filing date puts you behind everyone who has filed in those 10 years. The grace period costs extra. If you miss the expiry date, you have a 6-month grace period, with a €50 surcharge at the DPMA and a 25% surcharge on the renewal fee at the EUIPO. After that, the trademark is gone. That is why every renewal with us starts with a deadline check: we determine the exact end of your trademark's protection and tell you what has to be paid by when.
What happens to your classes
The trademark is renewed exactly as it is registered: representation and classes remain unchanged. You can make two decisions while you are at it: Drop classes: you can give up classes you no longer use when renewing and save official fees there (relevant from the 4th class onward). This also makes sense because of the obligation to use: unused classes are vulnerable anyway. Adding classes is not possible: new goods or services require a new application. The old trademark keeps its priority, and the new one supplements it.
Save money by renewing yourself?
You pay the renewal fee of €750 (DPMA) or €850 (EUIPO) in any case, so the only thing you can save is our fee from €169. Renewing yourself is doable if you have three things firmly under control: The exact deadline: end of protection, earliest payment date, grace period including surcharge. A miscalculation costs you a €50 surcharge at best, and the trademark at worst. The right recipient: a payment to one of the fake register services whose letters arrive around the expiry date renews nothing. The class decision: which classes are still worth it and which you can drop is an assessment, not a form field. From €169, we handle the deadline check, tell you where the fee needs to go and advise you on the classes. We are liable for our work, insured up to €2.5 million.

Trademark renewal: the essentials
Why trademark protection expires at all
Unlike a domain once granted or a copyright, a trademark is a registered right for a limited time: 10 years, then renewal or cancellation. The legislator wants to prevent registers from filling up with dead trademarks that nobody uses anymore but that every new applicant has to fear. For you, this means the reverse: as long as you renew and use it, the trademark is yours, theoretically forever. There are German trademarks that have been in force for well over 100 years, renewed decade after decade.
Priority: what you really lose
The renewal fee does not just buy 10 years of protection, it preserves the priority date. Your trademark from 10 years ago beats every later trademark in a conflict. If it lapses and you file again, the count starts over: every trademark filed in the meantime now ranks ahead of you, in the worst case including a competitor who has picked up your lapsed trademark. That is why, economically, there is almost never an alternative to renewal as long as the trademark is in use.
Deadlines, grace periods, surcharges
The term of protection ends 10 years after the filing date. You can pay at the earliest 6 months before expiry; payment is on time up to the expiry date. After that, the 6-month grace period opens, against a €50 surcharge at the DPMA and a 25% surcharge at the EUIPO. When the grace period ends, the trademark lapses retroactively to the end of protection. Reinstatement is only possible in narrow exceptional cases that nobody should rely on. The mechanics are simple but merciless: there is no discretion and no goodwill.
How to spot fake invoices
Trademark registers are public, including expiry dates and owner addresses. An entire industry has grown out of this: private companies with official-sounding names send out payment requests around the expiry date that look like fee notices. What you then pay for is a useless "register entry" in a private directory, often for four-figure sums. The real renewal is not taken care of by this. Telltale signs: the sender is not the DPMA or the EUIPO, the small print mentions a private service, the account is often abroad. Basic rule: no office asks you to renew by invoice. If in doubt, have it checked before any money is paid.
Renewal as an occasion to review your portfolio
Every 10 years, renewal forces you to take a look at your trademark. Make use of it. Three questions belong on the table: do the classes still match the business (dropping them saves fees from the 4th class onward, and unused classes are vulnerable anyway)? Is the registered owner still correct (changes of company name and sales are notoriously not updated)? And is protection missing where the business now takes place, for example for new products or in new countries? Renewal secures what you have; the review decides whether what you have still fits the company.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Not listed? Write to us using the contact form.
10 years from the filing date. After that, you can renew it for 10 years at a time, as often as you like. There is no upper limit.
Our fee: €169 for German trademarks, €229 for EU trademarks. With representation €258 or €318, and additionally with transfer €319 or €349. You pay the official fee directly to the office: DPMA €750 incl. 3 classes, EUIPO €850 incl. 1 class. We tell you the exact total before you approve.
The renewal fee can be paid at the earliest 6 months before the term of protection expires. You can instruct us earlier than that: after you place your order, we record the deadline and tell you in good time when to pay the fee to the office.
There is a 6-month grace period: with a €50 surcharge at the DPMA and a 25% surcharge at the EUIPO. If that also expires, the trademark lapses permanently and completely.
Generally not after the grace period has expired. The only option is a new application, with a new filing date and the risk that someone else has acquired similar rights in the meantime.
No. No proof of use, no new examination: renewal is a fee payment tied to a deadline. Independently of this, once the 5-year grace period for use has expired, the trademark must be used in its registered form, otherwise it can be challenged at the request of third parties.
Drop them, yes; add to them, no. For new goods or services you need a new application; the renewed trademark keeps its old priority.
Very probably not. Around expiry dates, private services send out official-looking invoices, some for more than €1,000. The DPMA does not send payment requests like this. Send us the letter and we will tell you within 24 hours whether it is genuine.
Don't pay anything yet. If you order the renewal now, we record the deadline and get in touch in good time before expiry.
Formally, the registered owner can also renew through us. If the registered owner no longer matches reality (change of company name, sale), the recordal in the register should be ordered at the same time, for example with the representation + transfer variant.
Weigh it against the value you have built up: 10 years of use, recognition, priority over all later trademarks. A new application after the trademark lapses costs about as much as the renewal, but only gives you a young trademark without this history.
