- Previous searches for benchmarking in industrial design records;
- Strategies to use and protect industrial design;
FIRST STEP – Preparation and filing of the patent application before the PTO
The preparation of an industrial design application involves the writing of a descriptive report, preparation of technical drawings and preparation of the application and documentation for protocol according to the administrative rules of the PTO.
SECOND STEP – Publication of the registration grant.
Concluding by the absence of formal defects and the adequacy of its object to legal and administrative standards, the PTO automatically publishes the application in its Industrial Property Journal and, simultaneously, grants the registration of industrial design.
THIRD STEP – Delivery of the registration certificate.
After the publication and granting of the industrial design record, the PTO issued the registration certificate, ending the administrative process with its delivery.
OPTIONAL STEP – Merit examination application
At any time during the validity of the registration the holder of the industrial design may request the PTO to conduct a merit examination on its novelty and originality, which confers greater reliability to the registry, facilitating its judicial defense against third parties. This step is not mandatory for the granting and validity of the registration.
FIVE YEARS AND EXTENSIONS:
The holder of the industrial design is subject to the payment of fees for five years and extensions for the maintenance and extension of the validity of his registration, which can reach up to 25 (twenty-five) years of effectiveness.
Five-year fees must be paid in advance every five years, with the first five-year period not being charged. The extensions comply with the terms of validity provided for in the law, which provides for an initial period of 10 (ten) years extendable for three subsequent periods of 5 (five) years each, which coincide with the payment dates of the third, fourth and fifth five-year periods.
