Are you wondering when to pay those critical Patent Renewal fees in Indonesia? Please read the following to learn the important deadlines.<\/span><\/p>\n

Timing is Everything: When Do Those Renewal Fees Kick In?<\/b><\/h4>\n

Indonesia’s calculation of renewal due dates is actually pretty straightforward. We are not just talking about the inaugural renewal due date but all future ones as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s the kicker: No annuities are due while your Patent is still in the application process. Your first payment becomes due 6 (six) months after the Patent grant date (you can always refer to the Notice of Allowance issued by the Indonesian Patent Office). And that payment isn’t just a one-off; it covers all the annuities that would have been due while your application was still pending – it’s a back-payment of sorts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, if your Patent was granted on February 1, 2023, you must settle the first annuity payment by August 1, 2023, to the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP). Please note that the granted Patent will be deemed withdrawn\/invalidated if the payment deadline is missed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yearly Renewals Explained<\/b><\/h4>\n

Once you have settled that first payment, let’s keep the ball rolling. Every year, one month before the anniversary of your original filing date, another annuity will knock on your door.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To paint a clearer picture: If you initially filed your Patent on November 9, mark your calendar because all subsequent renewals must be settled by October 9 each year.<\/span><\/p>\n
