Upon application, registration may be renewed for successive 10-year periods, each ending at midnight on the last day of the month 10 years after the date of renewal.

Failure to make application for renewal within the month of expiration of a registration will cause the department to send a second notice to the registered owner by mail at her or his last known address. Failure of the registered owner to make application for renewal within 30 days after receipt of the second notice will cause the owner’s mark or brand to be placed on an inactive list for a period of 12 months, after which it will be canceled and become subject to registration by another person.
