Can an application for trademark renewal be filed upon the expiration of the term of trademark rights?

Yes, in preventing forfeiture of trademark rights from failing to apply for renewal, a trademark right holder is still entitled to file an application for renewal six months after the expiration of the term of trademark rights; however, the registration fee shall double. A term of ten years shall be provided for each successful renewal, and the term of renewal as approved shall commence from the date following the expiration of the last trademark term.
