Restoration

1. Can a lapsed design be restored?

A design registration will lapse on termination of ten years’ period from the date of registration if the extension fee for a further term of five years is not paid before the expiry of the original period of ten years.

A lapsed design could be restored for a further period of five years by filing an application within one year from the date of lapse. However, the applicant must provide sufficient reasons for non-payment of extension fee within the ten years’ period.
