Our Comprehensive Support for the Renewal of your Design in Barbados
Our law firm handles the entire process of design renewal in Barbados. We ensure that all necessary steps for maintaining your design are carried out correctly and on time, ensuring uninterrupted protection for your design.
1. Monitoring the Maintenance Periods and Timely Notification
We monitor the maintenance periods of your registered design and notify you in advance of the upcoming renewal. This ensures you have sufficient time to take the necessary steps to maintain your design. You can appoint us to carry out the renewal, and we will handle the entire process.
2. Renewal of Design Protection
In Barbados, design protection is initially granted for a period of 5 years from the registration date. This period can be extended twice by 5 years each time, allowing for a total protection duration of up to 15 years.
The renewal is done through a formal application and the payment of renewal fees. To ensure the renewal is applied for on time, the application and payment must be made within the ongoing protection period. We recommend submitting the renewal request in the last few months before the protection period expires to avoid delays and additional fees.
3. Renewal After Expiration of the Protection Period
If the renewal application or payment is not made on time, the renewal can still be carried out if the actions are taken within a grace period of 6 months after the protection period ends. However, an additional fee will apply for the late renewal. If this deadline is not met, the design protection will expire, and the design will not be renewed.
4. Required Information and Documents for Renewal
To proceed with the renewal, we will need the registration number of your design and the filing date to ensure the application is correctly submitted.
5. Costs and Fees
The prices for design renewal in Barbados are per design and per protection period and include the official fees as well as statutory VAT. Should a late payment be necessary, a surcharge for the late renewal will apply, which is not included in the standard price and will be calculated separately.
6. Early Appointment for Timely Renewal
We recommend appointing us early for the renewal to avoid additional fees. This way, we can handle the entire process on time and without surcharges.
