Industrial Design Registration Renewal

Industrial design registration renewal extends the protection period of your designs and keeps your rights active. Sistem Patent runs renewal filings through our specialist team.

The renewal process

Industrial design protection runs for an initial 5 years and can be renewed every 5 years up to a total of 25 years. Sistem Patent handles these renewals as the authorized attorney firm.

The renewal window opens 6 months before the protection period ends and runs until the last day of that period. If the renewal is missed inside that window, an additional 6-month grace period is allowed, but late fees apply and some risks come with the delay. Filing the renewal on time matters.

Why the renewal process matters

Running the renewal process carefully is critical for protecting your industrial property rights. An attorney firm with its own database and alert system tracks renewal windows closely and prevents delays. Sistem Patent acts as a reliable partner on this front.

Renewal stages

Filing window:

• The renewal window runs inside the 5-year protection term. The renewal filing must go in during the 6 months before that term ends.

Late renewal:

• If the renewal is not filed inside the regular window, an additional 6-month grace period is allowed. The renewal can still be filed in this period, but late fees apply.

Tracking and reminders:

• Sistem Patent tracks renewal deadlines and alerts clients about the upcoming dates, so renewals are filed on time.

Documents required for renewal

• Applicant details: tax registration and trade activity certificate for a legal entity, or identity details for an individual.
• Designer details: the person or people who created the design.
• Power of attorney: authorization for Sistem Patent to handle the renewal on your behalf.

Why the renewal window matters

Renewal keeps your design protected for up to 25 years. A design that is not renewed lapses, and all rights on it can be lost. Filing the renewal on time is critical. Sistem Patent tracks and manages your renewals so your designs stay protected.
