The rules this tool applies
Every rule, with its legal basis
The engine is data-driven: each event below carries its statutory basis, source link and "last verified" date, and is maintained from the site's admin panel — never hard-coded.
| Event | Legal basis | Grace / window | Verified |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trademark renewal due (every 10 years) If the renewal and surcharge windows are both missed, the mark can be removed from the register. Restoration is discretionary and the mark's protection is weaker in the gap. |
Section 25, Trade Marks Act, 1999; Rule 57, Trade Marks Rules, 2017 | Late renewal with surcharge possible up to 6 months after expiry; after that, restoration (with conditions) up to 12 months after expiry | 2026-08-24 |
| Patent renewal fee — year N The renewal fee for a year falls due before the end of the preceding year, counted from the date of filing. Missing the fee and the 6-month extension causes the patent to lapse; restoration under Section 60 is possible only within 18 months of lapse and is not guaranteed. Fee amounts are on patentfilingfirm.com's government fee calculator. |
Section 53, Patents Act, 1970; Rule 80, Patents Rules, 2003 | Extension of up to 6 months available on request with the prescribed extension fee (Form 4) | 2026-08-24 |
| Patent term ends (20 years from filing) The patent term cannot be extended in India. Plan commercialization and any follow-on filings with this end date in mind. |
Section 53, Patents Act, 1970 | — | 2026-08-24 |
| Design extension application due (10-year initial term ends) One extension of 5 years is available, taking the maximum term to 15 years. Apply before the initial 10-year term ends. |
Section 11, Designs Act, 2000 | No routine grace period — a lapsed design may be restorable within one year under Section 12, with conditions | 2026-08-24 |
| Maximum design term ends (15 years, if extended) Shown only if the 5-year extension is taken. After 15 years the design enters the public domain. |
Section 11, Designs Act, 2000 | — | 2026-08-24 |
| Copyright records review (no statutory renewal) Copyright does not require renewal in India. This is a record-keeping prompt: review ownership documents, licences and assignments every few years, especially after team or business changes. |
Chapter V (Sections 22–29), Copyright Act, 1957 | — | 2026-08-24 |
Dates are NOT adjusted for public holidays or office closures. Where a due date falls on a closed day, the official rules on excluded days may move it — confirm against the official record. For Patents Act specifics — extensions, restoration, working statements — see Patent Act India, which owns the patent-law deadline tools in our network. Government fee amounts live on Patent Filing Firm's calculator.
Tracker FAQ
Dates, deadlines and honesty
Portfolio bigger than a form?
If you manage many rights — or rights with complications — MYCrave's renewals team runs professional docketing so nothing lapses.
Which date should I enter for each IP type?
The form tells you per type: trademarks run from the application date, patents from the filing date, designs from the registration date. Copyright has no renewal — the tool explains what it adds for copyright instead.
Why "indicative" — aren't these dates fixed by law?
The rules are statutory, but your case's facts can move dates: amendments, restorations, assignments, office orders and excluded days all matter. An automated tool cannot see your file, so it says so instead of pretending.
Does the .ics file work with Google Calendar?
Yes — it is a standard RFC 5545 calendar file that imports into Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar and most others. Reminders are included only if you tick the reminder option before downloading.
Will you email me before a deadline?
Not yet — this tool stores nothing on our servers, so there is nothing to email from. Import the .ics into your calendar and set its notifications. A permission-based reminder service is on the roadmap as a separate, opt-in feature.
