HOUSE BILL NO. 220
BY STATE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

3 TO CLARIFY THAT TRADEMARK RENEWAL APPLICATIONS MAY INCLUDE A FEE FOR EACH
4 CLASS CODE AND TO MAKE TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS.
5 Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
6 SECTION 1. That Section 48-506, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
7 amended to read as follows:
8 48-506. DURATION AND RENEWAL. (1) A registration of mark hereunder shall
9 be effective for a term of ten (10) years from the date of registration and,
10 upon application filed within six (6) months prior to the expiration of such
11 term in a manner complying with the rules of the secretary of state, the reg-
12 istration may be renewed for a like term from the end of the expiring term.
13 (2) A renewal fee, payable to the secretary of state, shall accompany the
14 application for renewal of the registration. When a renewal application
15 includes goods or services which fall within multiple classes, the secretary
16 of state may require payment of a fee for each class.
17 (3) A registration may be renewed for successive periods of ten (10)
18 years in like manner and the secretary of state shall issue a certificate of
19 renewal.
20 (4) Any registration in force on the date on which this act shall become
21 effective shall continue in full force and effect for the unexpired term
22 thereof and may be renewed by filing an application for renewal with the sec-
23 retary of state in compliance with the rules of the secretary of state upon
24 payment of the renewal fee within six (6) months prior to the expiration of
25 the registration.
26 (5) All applications for renewal under this act, whether of registrations
27 made under this act or of registrations effected under any prior act, shall
28 include a statement that the mark has been and is still in use.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 14917
The intent of this legislation is to clarify that a fee is
required for each class code in a trademark renewal application.
FISCAL NOTE
There are, in the trademark database, over 230 trademarks with
multiple class codes that will begin renewing in 2006. Renewals
are at a rate of approximately 10 percent. This would suggest a
very small increase in revenue to the general fund.
