Extension of Design Protection in the United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Design protection in the UAE is an essential tool to safeguard your creative works in the long term and protect them from imitation and unauthorized use. Our law firm offers comprehensive support in extending your intellectual property rights. Below, we explain the steps and requirements in detail:
Protection Duration and Extension Possibilities
An registered design in the UAE is initially protected for five years from the filing date. This protection can be extended twice, each for five years, so that the maximum protection period can reach 15 years. The extension must be applied for on time and the corresponding fees paid in order to maintain the protection.
Requirements for Extension
To successfully extend the protection, the following conditions must be met:
- Timely Application: The extension request must be submitted before the current protection period expires.
- Payment of Extension Fees: The official fees must be paid in full within the prescribed period.
- Complete Documentation: Required are the registration number of the design, proof of previous extensions, and possibly the applicant's identity verification.
Extension Process
- Review of Documents: First, all necessary documents will be reviewed. Our law firm ensures that your documents are complete and correct to avoid delays in the process.
- Deadline Management: We monitor the deadlines for you and remind you in time of the upcoming extension. This ensures that no deadlines are missed and your rights are not expired.
- Application Submission: The extension application is carefully prepared by our experts and submitted to the office on time. The application contains all the necessary information for quick processing.
- Government Review: After submission, the office reviews the completeness of the documents, the timely payment of the fees, and the compliance with all legal requirements.
