Maximum Protection Duration and Extension Options
The maximum protection duration for a registered design in St. Vincent and the Grenadines is 10 years. The protection is structured as follows:
- Initial protection period: 5 years from the registration date at the relevant authority, or from the priority date if a priority claim was made.
- One extension allowed: A single 5-year extension, achieving a maximum protection duration of 10 years.
Extension Process
The process of extending a registered design in St. Vincent and the Grenadines involves the following steps:
- Formal application: The extension application must be submitted before the end of the first protection period.
- Payment of extension fees: Fees must be paid in advance.
If the extension fee is not paid on time, you may still pay it within a 6-month grace period after the protection period expires. However, an additional fee will be charged. Failure to meet this grace period results in the termination of design protection.
