1. Maximum Protection Period and Renewal Options
The maximum protection period for a registered design in Nepal is 15 years.
- The protection begins on the date of filing the application with the relevant office in Nepal.
- After an initial protection period of 5 years, the protection can be renewed twice for additional 5-year periods.
2. Renewal Process
The renewal of a design in Nepal involves:

The renewal must be requested within the first 35 days after the protection period expires, and the renewal fees must be paid during the ongoing protection period. Adhering to these deadlines ensures a smooth renewal process.
