This involves making timely annuity payments to the Indonesian Patent Office, hereafter called the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP). Here&#8217;s a breakdown of the key points: &nbsp; First Annuity Payment This covers the period from your filing date up to one year after the grant date. It&#8217;s crucial to settle this payment within 6 months of receiving the grant notice. There&#8217;s\u00a0 no grace period. Missing this deadline\u00a0 invalidates your Patent, with no option for revival. No outstanding debt is created in this case. &nbsp; Subsequent Annuity Payments These become due one month before the anniversary of your original filing date for each remaining year of the Patent&#8217;s lifespan.\u00a0 For example, if you filed your Patent application on November 9th, all subsequent annuity payments would be due on October 9th of each year. &nbsp; Late Payment Option If you anticipate missing a deadline, you can request an extension from the DGIP through a registered and reliable Patent Consultant. This request must be submitted within 7 working days before the original due date. An extension allows for a maximum 12-month grace period, but comes with a penalty \u2013 a 200% surcharge on the official fee for the missed annuity. &nbsp; Consequences of Missing Payments &nbsp; Failing to make timely annuity payments, including missing the initial deadline or neglecting to request an extension with a surcharge, will result in the DGIP\u00a0 invalidating your Patent. This means you lose all legal protection for your invention in Indonesia. &nbsp; Recommendations: &nbsp; Carefully record your Patent&#8217;s filing date and grant date to ensure timely payments. Consider setting calendar reminders for upcoming annuity deadlines. Consult a registered Patent Consultant for assistance with managing these payments and navigating potential late payment scenarios. &nbsp; By staying informed and adhering to the regulations, you can ensure your Patent remains valid and enforceable throughout its 20-year term in Indonesia. &nbsp; Should you have any questions about Patent annuity payments in Indonesia, please do not hesitate to contact us at patent@affa.co.id. &nbsp; Source: Law No. 13 of 2016 on Patents (Patent Law)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4867,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[71,81],"tags":[16,34,43,51,68,75,76,77,79,87,177],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/affa.co.id\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4868"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/affa.co.id\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/affa.co.id\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/affa.co.id\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/affa.co.id\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4868"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/affa.co.id\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4868\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4869,"href":"https:\/\/affa.co.id\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4868\/revisions\/4869"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/affa.co.id\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/affa.co.id\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4868"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/affa.co.id\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4868"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/affa.co.id\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4868"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
