In short
Protection of a registered design is five years from the application date. The term of protection is renewed in periods of five years and does not exceed twenty-five years in total. If no renewal is made, the term does not rise to the ceiling by itself. The renewal petition is read together with the visual on the registration certificate and the application record. The remaining slice is not announced while the register copy does not stand, and a new number of years is not written in place of this record. Five years and the ceiling of twenty-five years are not treated as filled by themselves when there is no renewal petition, and the remaining slice is not announced while the register copy does not stand.
Renewal is not a new registration
Renewal carries the term of the same design for one more period. It does not produce a new visual, a new application day, and a new five years. The application date still stands as the root of the term in the renewed period, and it is not erased and rewritten. A contract or an invoice does not extend the term of protection on the register by itself. That the fee was paid is not treated as having opened the period by itself without the petition and the register entry either. An invoice does not become the registration certificate of a new visual, and the application date is not erased and rewritten.
Five years and the total ceiling
The first protection is five years, and each renewal adds five years. The total upper term is twenty-five years. This ceiling does not mean every registration has lived that long by itself, because a period that was not renewed does not extend. The remaining slice is read from the registration certificate and the register entry. How many periods were renewed comes from the decision in the file and the application date. Service does not build this calculation without a document, and the ceiling does not mean every file lasted that long. A five-year period that was not renewed does not extend.
A missed period is not written backwards
A missed period is not filled backwards with a later petition. On which day the renewal can be opened is not invented here. The day is read from the end date of the file and from the window in the legislation. A petition is not built before the window is written. The Çankaya address does not choose the register where the renewal will be heard. The competent register is read from the entry on the registration certificate and from the application papers. A missed period is not written backwards with a later petition, and the window is read from the end date of the file.
The infringement test is not this renewal
That the protection is standing does not mean every use is infringement. The test looks at the slice in which the protection stands. Design infringement builds that test. Invalidity of a design looks at the validity of the registration and does not stand in for the renewal petition. Service and the decision do not paste these two routes onto each other. An infringement result is not written by itself because the term continues, and an invalidity petition does not stand in for the renewal. An infringement result is not written because the term continues.
A patent term and a trademark term are not copied
The patent term of protection is not the design's formula of renewal by five years. Trademark renewal does not carry the same calendar either. The type of document determines the remaining slice. If the visual does not stand, it is not said which design was renewed. The application papers and the register copy show this separation, and a contract does not carry the term of the wrong type of document into the design file. A patent or trademark calendar is not copied here. If there is no visual, it is not said which design was renewed.
Conclusion
A design lasts five years, is renewed by five years, and does not pass twenty-five. Renewal is not a new registration. The general frame sits on the intellectual property page and in Article 69 of the Industrial Property Code No. 6769. Without the registration visual, the register copy, and the renewal petition, the remaining slice is not announced. A period of five years is not treated as extended while these three papers do not stand, and the ceiling of twenty-five years is not treated as filled by itself. The remaining slice is not announced while the registration visual, the register copy, and the renewal petition do not stand. The first protection of five years, renewal by five years, and the ceiling of twenty-five years are not filled backwards with a missed period. A patent or trademark calendar is not copied into this file. A contract does not extend the term by itself, and the Çankaya address does not choose the register. If there is no visual, it is not said which design was renewed. A missed period is not written backwards, and an invoice does not extend the term of protection by itself.
