Extension of Design Protection in Serbia – Secure Your Rights Effectively
Extending the protection period of a registered design is essential to safeguard your creative works over the long term. In Serbia, registered design rights provide an effective way to protect your designs from unauthorized use. Our team supports you in extending your protection rights and ensures that all necessary steps are completed on time and professionally.
Maximum Protection Period for a Design in Serbia
A registered design in Serbia is initially protected for 5 years from the filing date. This protection can be extended in increments of 5 years, up to a maximum of 25 years. After this maximum period, the design protection expires permanently.
Requirements and Deadlines for Extension
Extensions require a timely application and payment of fees. The application must be submitted before the protection period ends. For late extensions, there is a 6-month grace period, during which additional fees apply. Missing the deadlines will result in the loss of protection.
