The validity period of a trademark is generally calculated from the day the Trademark Office approves the applicant's registration. The validity period of a registered trademark is ten years. Trademark registrants can apply for renewal procedures within twelve months before expiration; if they fail to apply for renewal during this period, a six-month extension period can be granted.
