Explanation of Our Services for Design Renewal in Kyrgyzstan
Our law firm provides comprehensive support for the renewal of your registered industrial design in Kyrgyzstan. We handle all administrative steps, monitor protection periods, and notify you in advance of upcoming renewals to ensure uninterrupted protection for your design.
1. Maximum Protection Period and Renewal Options
The maximum protection period for a design in Kyrgyzstan is 15 years. Protection begins on the date of filing the application with the relevant authority.
- Initially, a design is protected for a first period of 10 years.
- It can then be extended through a single renewal of an additional 5 years, reaching the maximum protection period.
2. Steps in the Renewal Process
The renewal process involves:
- Submitting a formal renewal application to the relevant authority,
- Making the timely payment of renewal fees.
The renewal application should be filed during the last year before the protection period expires. Renewal fees must also be paid within this timeframe to maintain the protection.
3. Annual Maintenance Fees
In addition to the renewal, annual maintenance fees must be paid in Kyrgyzstan. These fees ensure continuous protection for your design. We monitor these payments and notify you in advance to avoid delays or lapses.
4. Late Renewal and Grace Period
If the renewal is not applied for or fees are not paid on time, this can be remedied within a grace period of 6 months after the protection period expires. However, additional fees will apply for late renewals. If the grace period is missed, the design protection will lapse permanently.
5. Required Information and Documents
To process your renewal application, we require the following details:
- The registration number of your design,
- The application date of the design with the authority.
This information is essential for preparing and submitting the renewal application correctly and on time.
