何时在印度尼西亚支付专利维护费？ 本文提供正确的指南，可确保您不错过最后期限并维持专利权。 时间至关重要： 何时付款最合适？ 印尼关于计算专利延期到期日的规定非常简单。 本文不仅涉及首次续保，还包括每年要注意的所有延期到期日。 您需要记住的第一件重要事情是： 在专利申请过程中，无需支付专利维持费（年费）。 您需要在专利正式注册 6 个月后支付新的维持费（该日期指专利注册日期，可在知识产权总局发布的专利申请公告函上查看）。 该维护费包括自申请之日起至专利授予之年的第一年应支付的年费，以及下一年的年费。 例如，如果专利从2023年2月1日起注册，您必须在2023年8月1日前直接向知识产权总局（DJKI）支付第一笔专利维护费。 请注意，如果您未能在该日期前付款，注册专利将被撤回或删除。 专利年度续费 付清专利维持费后，下一笔付款是年费，顾名思义，您必须每年支付年费。 下一年度的年费最迟应在下一年度保障期的同一申请之日前 1（一）个月支付。 换言之，如果专利申请日期是11月9日，即每年的10月9日是年度续期的到期日。 如果您对印尼专利维持费/续展费仍有疑问，请随时通过电子邮件与我们联系：[email protected]。 来源： 《印度尼西亚共和国法律 2016年第13号专利法》
