Comprehensive Support for the Renewal of Your Design in the Bahamas
Our law firm handles the complete process of renewing your registered industrial design in the Bahamas. We monitor the protection periods of your design and notify you in advance about upcoming renewals to ensure continuous protection of your design.
1. Protection Duration and Renewal Options
Design protection in the Bahamas begins with the filing of the design at the relevant office and an initial protection period of 5 years. This protection can be extended twice by 5 years each, allowing for a total protection period of up to 15 years.
2. The Renewal Process
Renewal of the design is done through a formal application to the relevant office and the payment of renewal fees. The renewal application should be submitted at least 6 months before the protection period expires to ensure uninterrupted protection. The payment of renewal fees should also occur within the current protection period.
3. Renewal After the Expiration of the Protection Period
If the renewal application is submitted on time, the payment of the renewal fee can still be made within a 6-month grace period after the protection period ends. However, surcharge fees will apply for late payment. If the grace period is not adhered to, the design protection in the Bahamas will end, and renewal will no longer be possible.
4. Required Documents for Renewal
For the renewal, we will need the registration number of your design as well as the filing date. This information is necessary to ensure that the application is submitted correctly and efficiently, so your design remains protected without delays.
5. Costs and Additional Fees
Our offer applies exclusively to the timely renewal of a single design and includes the general official renewal fees as well as our consultation fees. Any additional fees due to late payments are not included in the standard price and must be paid separately. We will, of course, inform you about all costs involved, so you are always aware of the fees.
6. Early Appointment for Timely Renewal
To ensure that your design renewal is carried out on time and without additional fees, we recommend appointing us early for the renewal. This allows us to prepare all necessary applications in a timely manner and submit them on time to avoid any delays or additional fees.
