Extension of Design Protection in Thailand – Our Services
In Thailand, design protection is initially granted for a period of five years, starting from the filing date or the claimed priority date. After the first five-year protection period expires, it is necessary to renew the design to maintain protection. This must be done within 60 days after the start of the fifth year of protection. If this deadline is missed, there is an opportunity to renew the design after the expiration, but only with the payment of a penalty fee. We handle the timely and punctual extension of your design protection in Thailand and monitor the protection deadlines for you.
Our Services for Extending Design Protection in Thailand
1. Timely Application and Extension:
We ensure that the application for the extension of your design is submitted on time. This also includes the responsibility for timely payment of the extension fees, so that the application is filed within the legally specified period of 60 days after the start of the fifth year of protection. Our experts take care of all administrative tasks and ensure that all requirements are met correctly to ensure uninterrupted protection.
2. Monitoring Protection Deadlines and Timely Information:
In addition to submitting the application, we monitor upcoming extension deadlines and inform you in a timely manner. This ensures that you do not miss any important deadlines and that the protection of your design is secured for the long term. We provide continuous monitoring and notifications, so you don't have to worry about missing deadlines.
3. Extension in Case of Late Payment of Fees:
If the renewal fee is paid late, we offer you the option to extend the design within a grace period. This must be done within 120 days after the regular payment deadline has passed. In this case, a penalty fee of 30% of the regular fee will be charged. We take care of the entire late extension process, including calculating and paying the penalty fees, and ensure that all legal requirements are met to maintain the protection.
4. Lump-Sum Payment for Full Protection Period:
If desired, you can also entrust us with renewing your design protection for the maximum protection period of 10 years. In this case, the payment of the renewal fees is made in a lump sum that covers the entire extension period. This has the advantage that you no longer have to worry about annual payments and deadlines, as the protection is immediately secured for the entire duration.
5. Required Documents and Information for the Extension:
For the design extension, we need the registration extract of your registered design as well as the registration number of the design. We review the submitted documents for completeness and ensure that all information is correct to avoid delays in the process. Please have these documents ready so that we can carry out the extension process efficiently and without delay.
6. Fee Structure and Conditions of Extension:
The extension of your design in Thailand is subject to a general renewal fee for one protection period. This fee covers all official fees. If you apply for a late extension, additional penalty fees will apply. Our prices are per design and include all necessary official fees plus the applicable VAT. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden costs and will explain all fees to you in advance.
7. Acceptance of the Order:
The acceptance of your order is subject to the condition that it is received in time so that we can complete the application and payment of the official fees on time. Be sure to instruct us early to ensure the timely completion of the extension process. We recommend making the appointment early to ensure that the design protection continues without interruption.
