Our Advisory Services and the Process for Extending a Design in Denmark
With our support, you can extend the protection of your design in Denmark efficiently and legally. We offer comprehensive advice and guide you through the entire application process.
1. Initial Consultation and Review
Initially, we analyze your design registration and ensure that all required documents are available. We check whether your design rights are still valid and which specific requirements need to be met for the extension in Denmark. In Denmark, a registered design can be extended after the initial five-year period.
2. Extension Deadlines and Periods
In Denmark, the initial protection period for a design is five years from the date of registration. An extension can be requested for up to three consecutive five-year periods. This means that your design can be protected for a total of up to 25 years if you apply for all extensions on time.
The extension must be requested at least six months before the expiration of the current protection period. To avoid losing protection, we recommend initiating the extension early.
Late Extension: If the extension is requested after the regular deadline, there is a grace period of six months in which the extension can still be applied for. However, a late fee will apply. Therefore, it is advisable to plan the extension in advance to avoid additional costs.
3. Preparation of the Extension Application
We take care of the complete preparation of the application, including the required forms and documentation. We ensure that all necessary documents are correctly submitted and advise you on the potential fees for the extension.
4. Submission to the Danish Patent and Trademark Office
Once the application is prepared, we submit it to the Danish Patent and Trademark Office (DKPTO). We monitor the entire process and take care of all formalities, so you don't have to worry about deadlines or documents.
5. Follow-up and Completion
After submission, we stay in constant contact with the DKPTO and regularly update you on the status of your extension. Once the extension is approved, we confirm the successful completion of the process and provide you with the corresponding certificates.
