Renewal fees in the WIPO 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.
If the design was filed at the WIPO, once granted, the first renewal is paid in the fifth year from the filing date.
For example, if the grant date is 2022-01-20, and the filing date is 2020-03-01, the first renewal must be paid by 2025-03-01.
After the first renewal has been paid, all subsequent renewals must be paid every 5 years. The due date should be the month and date corresponding to the filing date.
For example, if the filing date was on November 9, then all subsequent annuities will be due on November 9 every five years.
In WIPO, there are other types of intellectual property besides designs.
We are currently working on articles which will explain the rules for the renewal of these types of intellectual property. If you need any help renewing these and are looking for a cost-efficient solution, get in touch with us.
The renewal fees for designs in the WIPO depend on the number of designs in the application and whether it is a family registration.

There are no annuities due in the WIPO before the patent is granted. Once the patent has been granted, annuities must be paid in accordance with the renewal interval described above under the section Due Dates.
