Explanation of Design Extension in Taiwan
The protection of your design rights is a valuable asset that allows you to exclusively use your creative works in the market and protect them from imitators. In Taiwan, design protection is generally granted for a period of 12 years, with an option to extend it once the original protection period expires. Our law firm offers comprehensive consulting and service to ensure that the process of extending your design protection in Taiwan is smooth and efficient.
Our Consulting Services in Detail:
1. Comprehensive Consulting and Legal Review:
Before proceeding with the extension of your design protection, we carefully examine whether your design still meets the protection requirements in Taiwan. Our experts not only advise you on the specific requirements of the Taiwanese market but also on strategic considerations such as extending designs in other countries or the possibility of international expansion.
2. Timely Monitoring and Reminders:
One of the key elements in the design extension process is managing deadlines. Design protection in Taiwan can only be extended if the application is made within a specific timeframe after the original protection period has expired. We handle the deadline management for you and ensure that you are informed in time to avoid unnecessary delays or even the loss of design protection.
3. Preparation and Submission of the Extension Application:
We take care of all the formalities and prepare all the necessary documents for the extension of your design. This includes, among other things, submitting an extension application to the relevant Taiwanese authorities, as well as ensuring the proper payment of the extension fees. Our law firm ensures that all required information is entered correctly and completely to facilitate a smooth processing of the application.
4. Monitoring of Official Procedures:
After the submission of the extension application, we handle communication with the relevant Taiwanese authorities. If there are any questions or additional requirements, we assist you with our expertise to resolve them quickly and efficiently. Thanks to our experience with the Taiwanese authorities, we can overcome bureaucratic hurdles and simplify the process for you.
5. Strategic Advice on Global Design Strategy:
In addition to the national extension in Taiwan, we offer you comprehensive strategic advice on whether it is beneficial to extend or expand your design rights in other countries. We help you optimize your global protection strategy to secure and expand your design rights internationally.
6. Risk Management and Protection Against the Loss of Design Rights:
Through our in-depth knowledge of international design law and our experience with the Taiwanese legal system, we ensure that no legal risks arise for you. We take care of all the details and risks associated with the extension process and ensure that your design remains effectively protected.
The Procedure for Extending a Design in Taiwan:
1. Examination of the Design and Deadlines:
The first step involves carefully examining the existing design protection, including monitoring the expiration of the protection period. Our experts ensure that all relevant deadlines are properly considered and that you are promptly reminded in time.
2. Submission of the Extension Application:
Once we have gathered all the necessary information, we submit the extension application to the Taiwanese design authority. In this step, we ensure the correct formulation and timely submission of all required documents.
3. Fee Payment and Administration:
A key part of the extension process is the payment of extension fees. We handle the payment processing for you and ensure that all financial obligations are met on time to guarantee the smooth continuation of the process.
4. Monitoring the Extension Process:
After submission, we monitor the processing of the application and immediately inform you once a decision is made. If there are any delays or additional requirements, we handle the necessary clarifications.
5. Conclusion and Confirmation of the Extended Design:
Once the extension application is approved, you will receive confirmation from the Taiwanese authorities regarding the extended design protection. We ensure that you receive all necessary documents and that your design protection continues on time.
