Extension of Registered Designs in Seychelles – Detailed Explanation
We handle the complete process of extending your registered design in Seychelles. Our service includes monitoring the protection periods and providing timely notifications about upcoming renewals, ensuring that your design protection is always renewed on time.
Maximum Protection Period and Extension Options
The maximum protection period for a registered design in Seychelles is 15 years. The protection is structured as follows:
- Initial Protection Period: 5 years from the date of application.
- Two Extensions Available: Each for 5 years, allowing for a total duration of up to 15 years.
Procedure for Design Extension
The extension process involves:
- Formal Application: The extension request must be filed in the final year of the protection period.
- Payment of Extension Fees: The fees must be paid within the ongoing protection period.
If the extension is not requested or paid on time, there is a grace period of 6 months following the end of the protection period. During this time, the extension can still be completed, but additional fees will apply. If this grace period is not adhered to, the design protection will end permanently.
Special Considerations for Extension
- The quoted price applies only to designs registered in the United Kingdom. These registrations automatically extend to Seychelles.
- Designs not registered in the United Kingdom may incur different costs. In such cases, we are happy to provide tailored advice regarding the necessary steps.
