Renewal fees for industrial designs in Bangladesh must be paid by certain dates. In this section you will find a description of how these renewal due dates are calculated, both the very first renewal due date and all subsequent renewal due dates.
The first renewal fee must be paid in the fifth year from the priority date to the Department of Patents, Designs and Trademarks (DPDT). This renewal must be paid regardless of whether the industrial design has been registered or not.
For example, if the priority date is 2020-07-15, the first renewal will be due by 2025-07-15.
After the first renewal has been paid, all subsequent renewals must be paid every 5 years. The due date should be the month and date corresponding to the priority date.
For example, if the priority date was on November 9, then all subsequent renewals will be due on November 9 every 5 years.

Renewal fees must be paid in Bangladesh regardless of whether the industrial design is registered or not. You can find the rules for calculating the renewal due dates above in the Due Dates section.
The renewal fee in Bangladesh can be paid up to 3 months before the renewal due date. It is important to note that the renewal fee cannot be paid earlier than this. Any payments made before the opening of the payment window will result in the payment being rejected.
Yes, it is possible to renew a Bangladeshi industrial design after its renewal due date. If you fail to pay the renewal fee before the due date, a grace period of 3 months is given wherein the renewal fees can still be settled. When entering the grace period you will incur a surcharge fee to be settled along with the renewal fee. If you wish to maintain the industrial design, both the renewal fee and the surcharge fee will have to be settled. For example, if an industrial design has a renewal due date of 2021-05-31 and the due date is missed, the industrial design will enter the grace period from 2021-06-01. After this point both the renewal fee and the surcharge fee will need to be settled by 2021-08-31. Failure to pay these fees before the surcharge due date will result in the industrial design lapsing.
An industrial design will stay in force for 25 years in Bangladesh from the filing date if successfully renewed. Failure to pay the renewal fees will result in the industrial design lapsing.
