Renewal Procedure – How Does the Process Work?
Design rights in Mexico initially protect your creations for a period of 5 years from registration. This protection can be renewed up to four times for an additional 5 years each, allowing for a maximum protection period of 25 years.
Renewal Process:
- Submission of Renewal Application: The renewal application must be submitted within the last 6 months of the current protection period.
- Grace Period for Late Application: If the application is not submitted on time, late renewal is possible within 6 months after the expiration of the protection period, subject to an additional fee.
- Renewal Fee: The renewal fee must be paid upon submission of the application. If the payment is late, a penalty fee applies.
Required Documents and Information:
- Design Registration Number
- Date of Initial Registration
- Details of Previous Renewals (if applicable)
- Proof of Payment of Official Fees
