Renewal of Design in Switzerland

Here you can mandate us with the renewal of your registered design in Switzerland.

We take care of the renewal of your registered Design in Switzerland. We monitor the duration of protection and keep you updated about the upcoming renewal period of protection.

Upon registration of a design in Switzerland it shall be protected by a registered design for a period of five years from the date of filing the application or the claimed prior application date. The applicant may have renewed the term of protection for one or more periods of five years each, up to a total term of 25 years from the date of filing. The renewal of a registered industrial design shall be done by a request, provided that the renewal fee will be paid. The request for renewal can only be submitted within the last 12 months of the protection period and the renewal fee shall be paid within the same period.

The renewal still may be done during six months following the expiry date of the registration, subject to simultaneous payment of an additional late renewal fee. Renewal shall have effect from the expiry of the registration.

Our offer relates to single design renewal and includes the general maintenance fee but not the additional fee for late renewal payment in case of failing the general time limit for renewal.

Accepting the contract is subject to the circumstance that you will hire us early enough so that the request and the payment of the official fees can be arranged in time.
