Renewal of Registered Community Design in EU

Here you can mandate us with the renewal of your registered community design right up to a total term of 25 years of protection.

We take care of the renewal of your registered industrial design. We monitor the duration of protection, we file the renewal request, pay the renewal fees and keep you updated about the upcoming renewal period of protection.

Upon registration of a design it shall be protected by a registered Community Design for a period of five years from the date of the filing of the application (or the granted prior date). The right holder may have the term of protection renewed for one or more periods of five years each, up to a total term of 25 years from the date of filing.

The renewal of a registered Community Design shall be done by a request, provided that the renewal fee will bee paid. The request for renewal shall be submitted and the renewal fee shall be paid within a period of six months before the period of the protection ends. Failing this, the request may be submitted and the fee may be paid within a further period of six months from the day referred to, provided that an additional fee is paid within this further grace period (25% surcharge).

Our offer relates to single design and includes the fee for the renewal of one protection period but not the additional fees in case of late payment failing the general renewal time limit.

Accepting the contract is subject to the circumstance that you will hire us early enough so that the request and the payment of the official fees can be arranged in time.
