Extension of Design Protection in Cyprus – Comprehensive Support for Your Rights
The extension of design protection in Cyprus is essential to ensure that your creative works are protected from imitation and unauthorized use in the long term. Our law firm provides comprehensive support in extending your intellectual property rights. Below, we explain the individual steps and requirements in detail:
Protection Period and Extension Options
An officially registered design in Cyprus is initially protected for five years from the filing date. This protection can be extended twice, in five-year increments, allowing for a maximum protection period of 25 years. The extension must be applied for in a timely manner, and the corresponding fees must be paid to maintain the protection.
Requirements for the Extension
To successfully extend the design protection, the following requirements must be met:
- Timely Submission of the Application: The extension application must be submitted before the current protection period expires.
- Payment of the Extension Fees: The official fees for the extension must be paid within the designated timeframe.
- Complete Documentation: Necessary documents include the registration number of the design, proof of previous extensions, and, if applicable, the identity verification of the applicant.
Process of the Extension
The extension process includes the following steps:
- Document Review: Initially, we review all required documents. Our law firm ensures that your documentation is complete and correct to avoid delays in the process.
- Deadline Management: We monitor all relevant deadlines for you and remind you in advance of the upcoming extension. This ensures that no deadlines are missed and that your rights remain in effect.
- Application Submission: The extension application is carefully prepared by our experts and submitted on time to the relevant office. The application includes all necessary information to facilitate prompt processing.
- Examination by the Authority: After submission, the office reviews the completeness of the application, timely payment of the fees, and compliance with all legal requirements.
