Renewal of Registered Design in Latvia – Comprehensive Information
Maintaining your registered design is essential to ensure long-term protection of your creative work. With our service, you can easily handle the renewal of your design in Latvia and extend the protection period for up to 25 years. We offer comprehensive support and monitor all deadlines to ensure your rights remain uninterrupted.
Protection Period and Renewal Options
A registered design in Latvia initially enjoys a protection period of 5 years from the date of filing. This period can be extended four times by 5 years each, allowing for a maximum protection period of 25 years.
Renewal is only possible if the necessary applications are submitted on time and the fees are paid promptly. If this is not done, a grace period is available with additional charges.
Renewal Process
The renewal process is structured and requires submitting a formal application to the relevant office in Latvia. This application can be filed no earlier than 6 months before the expiration of the current protection period.
Timely payment of the renewal fee is crucial. Late payments within the six-month grace period incur additional charges. If the renewal fee is not paid within this period, design protection will expire irreversibly.
Required Information for Renewal
To complete the renewal process, we require the following information:
- The registration number of your design
- The date of filing
- A copy of the previous design certificate (if available)
- Current contact details of the design owner
Costs and Fees
Our prices include:
- Official renewal fees
- Monitoring of the protection period
- Notification services for upcoming deadlines
- Processing fees for the application
Prices are per design and renewal period, excluding applicable VAT. Costs for late renewals and penalty fees are not included in the standard rate and will be charged separately.
Important Notes on Timely Engagement
We strongly recommend engaging our services at least 8 months before the end of the protection period. This allows us sufficient time to initiate all necessary steps and avoid potential delays.
