Renewal of Design in Barbados

Here you can mandate us to file a renewal application for your registered design in Barbados for the next protection period. We will file the request for renewal. We will pay the renewal fees, monitor the duration of protection and keep you informed about the upcoming renewal deadlines.

Maximum term of design protection in Barbados is 15 years, provided all renewals have been done before.

Industrial Design registration in Barbados start with a 5-year term, beginning on the date of filing the application. Before the expiry of every five years from that date, a formal maintenance request must filed and the renewal fee must be paid or protection will end. Once the 15-year term is over, anyone is free to produce, import, rent or sell the design in Barbados.

The request for renewal shall be submitted within the protection period and the renewal fee shall be paid within this period too. The renewal shall be done within in the last months before the regular protection period ends.

In case the general renewal time has been failed a renewal may still be possible, if not longer than 6 months from the expiry date the renewal is redone. But in that case you will have to pay a fine for late renewal in addition to the renewal fee. Your industrial design will lapse if you fail to pay the late renewal fee within six months from the date of expiry of registration.

Our offer relates to single design and includes the general renewal fees for one design but not the additional fee for late payment in case of failing the general renewal time limit.

Accepting the contract is subject to the circumstance that you will hire us early enough so that the request and the payment of the official fees can be arranged in time.
