Extension of Design Protection in Singapore – Our Advisory Services and the Process
The protection of your design in Singapore is initially granted for a period of five years. However, you have the option to extend this protection every five years, up to a maximum protection duration of ten years. With our assistance, we ensure that your designs remain legally protected even after the first five years.
1. Extension Deadlines and Periods
The initial protection period for a registered design in Singapore is five years. To continue protection, an extension must be requested. The extension can be granted for five-year periods, with the maximum protection duration being ten years.
The extension must be requested at least six months before the expiration of the initial five years to ensure uninterrupted protection. If the deadline is missed, a six-month grace period is available in which an extension can still be requested, but additional fees will apply.

3. Process and Procedure
Early Submission: To avoid delays, we recommend submitting the extension request in advance, at least six months before the protection period expires.
Grace Period for Late Submission: If the application is submitted after the regular deadline, there is a six-month grace period during which an extension can still be requested, but additional fees will apply.
