After you apply

The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) will examine your application.

If there are no issues your design will be registered - usually within 3 weeks.

The IPO will let you know if there are any problems. You’ll have at least 2 months to resolve them. You may get longer depending on the type of problem.

If you deferred your registration

If you deferred your registration when you applied, you have up to 12 months to register it before the IPO will cancel your application.

To register it, send a deferred design registration form and the £40 fee for each design.
