Our Comprehensive Support for the Renewal of your Design in Bermuda
Our law firm handles the complete process of renewing your registered industrial design in Bermuda. We monitor the protection periods of your design and notify you in advance when a renewal is required. With our assistance, you can ensure that your design remains continuously protected.
1. Maximum Protection Duration and Renewal Options
Design protection in Bermuda lasts for a maximum of 15 years, provided that the necessary renewals are made. The protection begins with the filing date of the design with the relevant office and an initial protection period of 5 years. This protection period can be extended twice by 5 years each, allowing for a total protection period of 15 years.
2. The Renewal Process
Renewal of the registered design in Bermuda is done through a formal application to the relevant office and the payment of renewal fees. The renewal application must be submitted at least 6 months before the protection period ends. To ensure continuous protection, the payment of the renewal fees must be made within the current protection period.
3. Costs and Fees for the Renewal
Our offer is exclusively for the timely renewal of a single design and includes our fees as well as the general official renewal fees. These include the usual costs for the application and the renewal fee, which must be paid within the protection period.
4. Surcharge Fees for Late Payment
If the renewal application or payment of the renewal fees is not made on time, an additional surcharge fee for the late renewal will apply. These additional fees are not included in the standard price and must be paid separately. Early appointment helps avoid such costs.
5. Recommended Approach for Timely Renewal
We recommend appointing us early for the renewal so that the application and payment of the official fees can be processed on time and without additional charges. This ensures that the design protection for your product is maintained without interruption.
