Renewal fees for designs in Taiwan must be paid by certain dates. In this section you will find a description of how these renewal due dates are calculated, both the very first renewal due date and all subsequent renewal due dates.
No annuities are due throughout the application process. The first renewal is paid 3 months after the grant date to the The Intellectual Property Office, MOEA.
For example, if the grant date is 2022-01-20, then the first renewal must be paid by 2022-04-20.
After the first renewal has been paid, all subsequent annuities must be paid annually on the day before the anniversary of the grant date. The due date should be the month and date corresponding to the day before the grant date.
For example, if the grant date was on November 9, then all subsequent annuities will be due on November 8 each year.
