Patent renewal fees in Indonesia: costs, due dates and grace period
You pay patent renewals in Indonesia to the DGIP, in IDR, up to year 20. You pay nothing until the office grants your patent. Miss a due date and you get a 6-month grace period, with a surcharge set by your fee tier.
What are the patent renewal due dates in Indonesia?
Indonesia counts annuities from the filing date, and the amount depends on which patent year you are entering. You pay nothing while the application is still pending.
The first renewal falls due six months after the grant date, payable to the DGIP.
For example, if the grant date is 2022-01-20, then the first renewal must be paid by 2022-07-20.
Every later annuity falls due one month before the anniversary of the filing date, each year, until year 20.
For example, if the filing date was on November 9, then all subsequent annuities will be due on October 9 each year.

In Indonesia, you pay a fee per claim in addition to the base renewal fee. For example, if you are to pay annuity 4, you will have to pay the base renewal fee plus the claim fee multiplied by the number of claims. For the purpose of this example we will assume that the patent has 11 claims, which will result in the following calculation:
Base Renewal Fee IDR 1,250,000 + (Claim Fee IDR 100,000 x Number of claims 11) = IDR 2,350,000

Missed a patent renewal deadline in Indonesia?
A six-month grace period runs from the day after the due date. You can still pay the renewal fee with a surcharge set by your fee tier, and the patent continues without interruption. Once the grace period closes, the patent lapses.
If you miss a renewal due date of 15 February 2026, the patent enters the grace period on 16 February 2026. Settle the renewal fee and the surcharge by 15 August 2026 to keep the patent in force.

1. What do I pay while the application is pending?
Nothing. You pay no annuities in Indonesia while your application is pending. Payments start once the office grants your patent.
2. When can I pay the renewal fee?
Whenever you like. In Indonesia, you can settle renewal fees at any time and pay several annuities together in one go.
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. Your fee tier sets the amount. 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.
