Patent renewal fees in Cyprus: costs, due dates and grace period
You pay patent renewals in Cyprus to the Department of Registrar of Companies and Official Receiver, in EUR, up to year 20. The schedule starts the day before your second filing anniversary, granted or not. Miss a due date and you get a 6-month grace period, with a surcharge that starts at 30 EUR and climbs to 180 EUR.
What are the patent renewal due dates in Cyprus?
Cyprus counts annuities from the filing date, and the amount depends on which patent year you are entering. A due date can arrive while the application is still pending.
The first renewal falls due the day before your second filing anniversary, payable to the Department of Registrar of Companies and Official Receiver.
For example, if the filing date is 2020-02-01, the first renewal will be due by 2022-01-31.
Every later annuity falls due the day before the filing anniversary, each year, until year 20.
For example, if the filing date was on September 9, then all subsequent annuities will be due by September 8 each year.
Cyprus is a member state of the EPO. A European patent takes effect in Cyprus only once the EPO grants it and you validate it in Cyprus. You pay the EPO while the application is pending, then the Department of Registrar of Companies and Official Receiver takes over after validation, under the same rules as a national patent.

Missed a patent renewal deadline in Cyprus?
A six-month grace period runs from the day after the due date. You can still pay the renewal fee with a surcharge that starts at 30 EUR and climbs to 180 EUR, and the patent continues without interruption. Once the grace period closes, the patent lapses.
If you miss a renewal due date of 14 March 2026, the patent enters the grace period on 15 March 2026. Settle the renewal fee and the surcharge by 14 September 2026 to keep the patent in force.

1. What do I pay while the application is pending?
The same annuities you pay after grant. Cyprus starts the schedule the day before your second filing anniversary, and it runs whether or not the office has granted your patent by then.
2. When can I pay the renewal fee?
Up to 3 months before the due date, and no earlier. Send it earlier and the office rejects the payment.
3. Can I renew a patent after missing a due date?
Yes. You get a 6-month grace period, starting the day after you miss the due date. Pay the renewal fee plus a surcharge inside that window and your patent stays in force. It starts at 30 EUR and climbs to 180 EUR by the end of the window. Miss the window too and the patent lapses.
4. How long does a patent last?
Up to 20 years from the filing date, as long as you pay every annuity on time. Stop paying and it lapses at the end of the grace period that follows the last due date.
