Explanation

In several jurisdictions, such as Australia and formerly Canada, a registered industrial design protection lasts for a maximum period of 10 years (often an initial 5-year term plus a 5-year renewal). While the exact duration can vary by country, ten years is a standard duration taught in many design and technology curricula.
