Patent Renewal
For your patent registration to be active in the jurisdiction where it is registered, a yearly payment or annuity is paid with the patent office which will extend the effectivity of your patent for a year.
Fees are dependent on the jurisdiction and thus, patent owners should check with their agents or the patent office’s how much will be needed to pay.
Non-payment of annuity will result to lapse of your patent registration, allowing the public to use your invention freely.
