This includes monitoring protection periods, notifying you in advance of upcoming renewals, and executing the renewal process on time.
1. Maximum Protection Period and Renewal Options
The maximum protection period for a design in Kazakhstan is 20 years. Protection begins on the date of application with the relevant authority. Initially, a design is protected for a first period of 15 years. This can be extended by a single renewal of 5 years, bringing the total protection period to 20 years.
2. Renewal Process Steps
The design renewal process in Kazakhstan involves:
- Filing a formal renewal application with the relevant authority,
- Making the timely payment of renewal fees.
The renewal application should be submitted during the final year of the current protection period to avoid delays. Renewal fees must also be paid within this timeframe.
3. Payment of Annual Maintenance Fees
In addition to the renewal fee, annual maintenance fees must be paid in Kazakhstan. These fees ensure the protection remains valid throughout the entire duration of the design's registration. We monitor these payments on your behalf to ensure that no deadlines are missed.
4. Essential Information and Documents
To process the renewal of your design, we require the following details:
- The registration number of your design,
- The application date with the relevant authority.
This information is essential to prepare and submit the renewal application correctly and on time.
5. Detailed Costs and Services

- Our advisory fees, which cover administrative tasks such as preparation, submission, and tracking of the renewal application,
