NEVER MISS ANY DEADLINE… Let us manage your ANNUITIES”

Annuities are fees that a patent, trademark or copyright owner has to pay in order to renew their rights. Otherwise the applicant will lose all the rights before the regular expiration date. The amount and frequency of this renewal fee (or Maintenance fee) differ according to national or international law. Missing an annuity date can lead to the loss of patent protection and have a significant financial impact on your organization.

The Annuities and renewals management service enable clients to offload the complexity of their maintenance decisions, while minimizing the cost. Our Clients pay us a fixed monthly service fee. Missing an annuity payment can have dire financial consequences for the patentee. We manage annuities from the time a patent enters into the renewal cycle.
