While a patent is in the pending application stage, no renewal fees are due. Once a patent is granted in Indonesia, you are obliged to pay a recurring renewal fee to the Patent Office of Indonesia to maintain the patent. The first renewal fee is due within six months from the grant of the patent. You will have to settle the renewal fees for all the pending previous renewal years before the expiration of these six months upon the grant of the patent. Thereafter, the renewal due date for all subsequent renewals will fall on the anniversary of the international filing date.
For example, if the filing date of a patent is 2012-07-06 with the sixth anniversary on 2021-07-27, and the grant date of the patent is 2019-02-19, you will have to settle the first renewal fee from year 1 to year 8 upon the grant of the patent on 2019-07-06. The next annuity for year 9 will be due on 2020-07-06 (on the anniversary of the international filing date).
In Indonesia, there are other types of intellectual properties apart from patents, known as simple patents and designs. At PatentRenewal.com, we have all the necessary tools and procedures to ensure that they can be renewed through us.
Intellectual Property Type #1 - Simple Patents
The duration of a simple patent is 10 years from the date of filing in Indonesia. It is kept in force by paying the renewal fees.
Intellectual Property Type #1 - Designs
A design right in Indonesia is valid for 10 years, from the filing date. There is no renewal fee for industrial designs in Indonesia.
The first renewal fee is due within six months from the grant of the patent. It is worth noting that in Indonesia you need to pay an additional renewal fee for each claim depending on the number of claims your patent application has.
For example, if a patent has an annuity due for year 4 as well as 11 claims, the formula will go as follows:
(1250000.00 IDR for year 4) + (100000.00 x 11) = 2350000.00 IDR

Prior to a patent being granted in Indonesia, it falls into what is known as the filing stage. You will only start paying renewal fees in Indonesia when the patent is granted.
There is no specified payment window before which the renewal fees must be paid. The renewal fees can be paid any time before the due date.
There is a 12-month grace period given, whereby the renewal fees can still be settled. When entering this grace period, there is no penalty fee for the first 6 months. For the next 6 months, you will incur a penalty fee of 100% in addition to that of the initial annual fee for the corresponding year. Failure to settle this fee during the grace period will lead to the patent being expired.
It is currently mandatory to make use of a local agent or representative when renewing a patent in Indonesia.
In order to maintain a patent in Indonesia, renewal fees need to be settled with the Patent Office of Indonesia. By settling the renewal fees, the patent is guaranteed to last for a maximum of 20 years from the filing date. If you want to maintain the patent, the renewal fees are mandatory, if not paid the patent will lapse.
