Design Protection Extension in Slovenia – Comprehensive Information and Professional Support
Extending design protection in Slovenia is an essential step to ensure the long-term protection of your creative works from imitation and unauthorized use. As a registered rights holder, you have the opportunity to extend your protection beyond the initial term, securing your market position sustainably. Our experienced team guides you through the entire renewal process, ensuring timely application and compliance with all legal requirements.
Maximum Protection Duration and Renewal Options
In Slovenia, registered design rights are initially granted for a period of 5 years. This protection can be extended in increments of 5 years, up to a maximum of four times. This results in a total protection duration of 25 years. To avoid the loss of protection, each renewal must be filed within the stipulated deadlines.
Requirements for Renewal
To successfully renew your design protection in Slovenia, the following requirements must be met:
Timely submission of the renewal application is critical, as it must be filed with the relevant authority before the current protection period expires. If the deadline is missed, a grace period of 6 months is available, during which the renewal can be applied for with an additional late fee. Additionally, the official renewal fees must be paid in full and on time. Failure to pay will result in the irrevocable loss of design protection.
