What is design renewal, and when do you need it?
Design renewal extends the life of your registered design. Simply put, a design is valid for ten years from registration. Therefore, timely renewal keeps your rights alive. Above all, you can extend it by a further five years.
You need to renew before your design expires. First, the ten-year term runs from the date of registration. Next, you can file for the five-year extension before it ends. Also, a lapse can be hard to reverse. Because your design protects your product edge, early action matters.
