Our Support for Design Renewal in Greece
Our law firm handles the complete process of renewing your registered design in Greece. We ensure that your design remains seamlessly protected and notify you in advance of upcoming renewals.
1. Protection Duration and Renewal Options
A registered design in Greece is initially protected for 5 years from the filing date. The protection period can be extended four times by 5 years each, resulting in a maximum protection duration of 25 years. This requires that the renewals are applied for on time and the corresponding fees are paid within the deadline.
2. Renewal Process
The renewal is carried out through a formal application to the relevant office in Greece. This application can be submitted no earlier than 6 months before the current protection period expires. It is important that the renewal fees are paid before the end of the protection period to ensure uninterrupted protection.
3. Required Information and Documents
To renew your design, we require the following information:
- The registration number of your design
- The filing date of the design with the relevant office
With this information, we can prepare and submit the renewal application correctly and on time.
4. Costs and Fees Overview
Our service includes:
- The official renewal fees charged by the office
- Our service fees for advising and submitting the application
The stated prices are exclusive of the applicable VAT. Additional fees, such as surcharges for late payments, will be charged separately.
