Extension of Registered Design Protection in Egypt – Detailed Explanation
We offer comprehensive support for the extension of your registered design in Egypt. Our services include monitoring protection periods, timely notifications of upcoming extensions, and the complete management of the extension process. This ensures that your design protection remains uninterrupted.
Maximum Protection Duration and Extension Options
The maximum protection duration for a registered design in Egypt is 15 years, structured as follows:
- Initial Protection Period: 10 years from the date of application.
- Extension: A single extension for an additional 5 years.
It is essential that the extension application is submitted on time and all fees are paid in full.
Procedure for Design Extension
The extension of your registered design in Egypt requires the following steps:
- Formal Extension Application: This must be submitted during the final year of the current protection period.
- Payment of Extension Fees: Fees must be paid within the ongoing protection period.
If the extension is not applied for or the fees are not paid on time, it is possible to extend the protection within a grace period of 3 months after the protection period ends. In such cases, an additional late fee will apply. Failure to meet this deadline will result in the termination of protection.
