Trademark restoration refers to the legal process of reinstating a trademark that has been removed from the registry due to failure to renew within the prescribed time frame. As per the Trade Marks Act, 1999, restoration can be requested within one year from the date of expiration. The restoration of trademark not only reactivates the mark but also helps preserve the goodwill and legal exclusivity that the brand has earned in the market.
