Overview - patent renewal ip protection patents Registration
What is it?
A patent in India must be renewed every year by paying an annual fee to the Indian Patent Office, starting from the 3rd anniversary of the filing date. Non-payment results in lapse - the patent enters the public domain permanently.
Fee structure
Renewal fees escalate over the 20-year term. Natural persons and startups pay ~80% less than large entities. The number of claims also affects the fee amount.
Lapse consequences
A lapsed patent cannot be enforced against infringers - competitors can legally copy your invention. There is a 6-month grace period with surcharge and an 18-month restoration window - but neither is guaranteed.
What we do
We audit your patent portfolio, create a renewal calendar, send 60-day and 30-day advance reminders, calculate the correct government fee, and file Form 4 before every deadline without exception.

Who Usually Requires This?
The PATENT RENEWAL · IP Protection · Patents solution matches perfectly with these profiles:
- Profile
- Why It Applies
- Profile
- Why It Applies
- Patent holders in year 3 or beyond
- Annual renewal fees begin at year 3. A single missed payment lapses your patent and puts the invention in the public domain permanently.
- Companies managing multiple patents
- Managing multiple renewal deadlines manually is error-prone. One oversight can cost you a valuable and irreplaceable IP asset.
- Those who acquired a patent through assignment
- New owners often don't know the prior renewal history. We audit current status and set up proactive deadline tracking from day one.
- IP portfolio holders wanting strategic renewal decisions
- Not all patents are worth renewing. We evaluate each patent's commercial value against renewal cost to make smart portfolio decisions.
- Those with a recently lapsed patent
- If your patent lapsed in the last 18 months, restoration may still be possible. We file the restoration application and present the case to the Controller.
- Businesses with licensing agreements tied to patents
- A lapsed patent voids any licensing arrangement. Keeping patents in force protects ongoing royalty income streams.
- ✅ WHY DO YOU NEED THIS
- Key Benefit
- Explanation
- Key Benefit
- Explanation
- Lapse = Permanent Loss
- Once the restoration window passes, the patent cannot be revived. Your invention becomes freely available to all competitors - forever.
- Protects Asset Value
- Patent portfolios are balance sheet assets. A lapse reduces company valuation, voids licensing agreements, and undermines investor confidence.
- Maintains Enforcement Rights
- You cannot sue an infringer for a lapsed patent. Keeping it in force keeps legal rights and leverage against competitors fully intact.
- Cost of Renewal vs. Cost of Loss
- Annual renewal fees are a fraction of the cost of re-filing or losing market exclusivity. The economics almost always favour renewal.
