Restoration of an expired trade mark
Trade marks which have expired and not been renewed within 6 months of the date of expiration will be removed from the register. However, the Registrar may restore the trade mark to the register and renew its registration if he is satisfied that it would be just to do so.
In this case, a request for the restoration of the trade mark must be made within 6 months of the date of removal, together with reasons for the failure to renew. The Trade Mark Register has advised that generally they would consider it just to allow a trade mark to be restored where the owner had a proper system in place for renewing the registration, and an application to restore was filed as soon as practicable after the omission became known.
