Design Annuities

Design annuities are essential for maintaining the protection of a registered design throughout its lifecycle. These periodic fees ensure that your design’s intellectual property rights remain active and enforceable. Missing these payments can lead to the lapse of protection, allowing others to freely use or copy your design, potentially diminishing its value and competitive advantage.

At LexGeneris, we provide comprehensive management of design annuities to keep your registered designs protected throughout their full term. Our service is designed to streamline this process, allowing you to focus on your core business without the worry of missing crucial deadlines.

We offer a fully managed annuity service, handling everything from tracking deadlines to notifying you in advance of upcoming payments. Our team manages the entire renewal process, including preparing and submitting necessary forms and making payments on your behalf. We also provide strategic advice on whether to maintain or allow a design registration to lapse, based on its ongoing commercial value.

By partnering with LexGeneris, you can ensure that your valuable intellectual property assets remain protected without interruption. Our proactive approach minimizes the risk of losing design rights due to missed deadlines, making the management of design annuities seamless and worry-free.
