Extension Process in Mozambique – Procedure and Key Deadlines
Design protection in Mozambique is initially granted for a period of 5 years. After this period, extensions can be applied for, allowing for up to two additional 5-year extensions, with a maximum protection period of 15 years.
Extension Procedure:
- Application Submission: The extension application must be submitted within the last 6 months of the current protection period.
- Grace Period: If the application is not submitted on time, an extension can still be applied for within 6 months after the protection period expires. In this case, a late fee will apply.
- Confirmation: After successful review and payment, the extension is confirmed by the office, and the design protection is extended accordingly.
Required Documents:
- Registration number and file reference of the design
- Proof of initial registration
- Previous extension certificates (if applicable)
