TIME LIMIT OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN PROTECTION

TIME LIMIT OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN PROTECTION

Date Submitted: 22/03/2022 04:00 PM

    According to the IP Law 2005, amended 2019, the time limit of industrial designprotection as follows: Designs are protected for 5 years from the filing date or the priority date. The owner can renew their protection titles and there are 2 consecutive times of renewals.

    Within 06 months prior to the expiry date, the Certificate owner must submit an extension request to the IPOVN. The Certificate owner can renew it late, but the deadline for renewing is not more than 06 months from the date of expiration of the protection term. In this case, in addition to having to pay the renewal fee, the Certificate owner has to pay a late renewal fee (10% of the renewal fee for each late month). Therefore, industrial design owners should pay attention when renewing the trademark registration on time to avoid the expiration of the trademark protection title, affecting production and business activities.

    Please note that if an industrial design is not renewed by its renewal due date, the status of the Certificate will change to ‘Registered - past expiry date’.
