Maximum Protection Duration and Renewal Options
In Trinidad and Tobago, the maximum protection duration for a registered design is 15 years, structured as follows:
- Initial Protection Period: 5 years from the date of application at the competent office.
- Renewals: Two extensions of 5 years each, reaching the maximum duration of 15 years.
The Renewal Process
To extend the protection of your design, the following steps are required:
- Formal Application: The application must be submitted within the current protection period, ideally in the last months before the current term expires.
