Renewal of Design Protection in Sweden – Comprehensive Support for Your Rights
Protecting your design in Sweden is essential to safeguard your creative works against imitation and unauthorized use. Swedish design law allows you to secure your rights for a maximum duration of 25 years. Our law firm provides comprehensive support for renewing your design protection, ensuring that no deadlines are missed.
Protection Duration and Renewal Options
A registered design in Sweden is initially protected for a duration of 5 years. This protection period can be extended four times, each time for 5 years, resulting in a maximum protection duration of 25 years.
The Renewal Procedure
The renewal of design protection in Sweden requires a formal application to the relevant authority. Timely payment of the necessary renewal fees is essential to maintain protection.
Deadlines and Procedure:
- Regular Application: The renewal application can be filed no earlier than 12 months and no later than 6 months before the protection period expires.
