Design Renewals

To renew your design registration, you will have to pay a design renewal fee. Otherwise it will lapse, and you will lose your rights as the owner. Design renewal fees depend on the legislation and the country in which you wish to uphold your design. A registered Community Design (RCD) filed with the EUIPO has to be renewed every five years up to the maximum period of 25 years.

International management of your design rights across the entire lifecycle

Our team of design attorneys can advise you on the development of your design strategy, alongside that of your other IP, identifying relevant territories and, where appropriate, potentially advising on if a design is no longer fit for purpose, helping you to reduce costs even further.
