Designs with a filing date after March 10, 2022, where the first disclosure occurs after that date due to:
- Inadvertently making a design public
- Didn't know the design needed to apply for protection before it was disclosed
A design patent application can enjoy a novelty grace period of 12 months.
- Registration: 2 weeks.
- Certification: 4 months.
In Australia, the acquisition of patent application for design is divided into two parts: registration and certification. Both of these are required to legally exercise design rights. After IP Australia's 8-week preliminary review of the design, the design patent will obtain a patent certificate. If you want to exercise the design patent right, you must go through 13 weeks of IP Australia's review and reply, and you will be certified after passing.
