Extension of Design Protection in Lithuania – Detailed Explanation
Our law firm provides comprehensive support for extending your registered design in Lithuania. With our expertise, we ensure that your protection rights do not unintentionally lapse. We handle the entire renewal process and notify you in time about upcoming deadlines, ensuring your design is protected for up to 25 years.
Maximum Protection Period and Renewal Options
In Lithuania, the maximum protection period for a registered design is 25 years. This protection starts from the filing date or the claimed priority date. The initial protection period is 5 years but can be renewed four times for an additional 5 years each.
Process for Extending Design Protection
The extension of design protection requires the timely submission of a renewal application to the relevant office. The renewal fee can be paid up to 6 months before the expiration of the current protection period. It is crucial that both the application and payment are made within this period. If this is not done, the renewal can be completed within 6 months after the expiration period, subject to a surcharge.
Required Information
To ensure seamless renewal, we need the design registration number and the original filing date. This information allows us to process the renewal application accurately.
Costs and Fees
Our fees include the costs for renewing a single design, including official fees. The applicable VAT is charged additionally. Late fees or other surcharges in the case of late renewal are not included in the regular prices and must be paid separately.
Conditions for Acceptance of Orders
We accept orders only if we receive the mandate in good time before the protection period expires. This ensures that the necessary steps can be carried out on time and that no additional fees are incurred.
