Answer:
After the patent right is granted, the term of the invention patent right is 20 years from the application date. During the validity period of the patent, an annual fee is required to be paid every year.
Patents are renewed each year before the “due date” (the application date).
Patents can be renewed up to 3 months before the renewal due date.
You can still legally pay the annual fee within 6 months after the due date. No surcharge fee will be charged for the first month of overdue buffer period. After the second month, a 5% surcharge fee will be paid every month. A 25% surcharge fee will be charged by the sixth month.
If the payment is not made 6 months after the due date, the patent will be expired.
