Patent Annuity Services
Maintain Your Patent Rights and Avoid Lapses
Securing a patent is only the first step in protecting your innovation. To keep your patent in force, you must comply with renewal requirements set by the Intellectual Property Office and other jurisdictions where your patent is registered. Missing an annuity deadline can result in the loss of your exclusive rights, leaving your invention vulnerable to public use.
At Adastra IP, we help you stay ahead of these deadlines and ensure your patents remain valid throughout their full term.
Why Patent Annuity Matters
Patents typically require periodic maintenance fees to remain enforceable. These fees vary by country and are due at specific intervals. Failure to pay on time can lead to:
- Patent expiration and loss of protection.
- Additional costs for reinstatement (if allowed).
- Risk of competitors exploiting your invention.
Our team ensures that your intellectual property portfolio remains active and compliant with all renewal regulations.
