Renewal fees in Iraq 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 upon grant to the Industrial Property Department. This payment must cover all annuities that would have been due throughout the application process.
For example, if the grant date is 2022-01-20 then the first renewal must be paid on 2022-01-20.
After the first renewal has been paid, all subsequent annuities must be paid annually on the anniversary of the filing date.
For example, if the filing date was on September 9, then all subsequent annuities will be due on September 9 each year.

There are no annuities due in Iraq before the patent is granted. Once the patent has been granted, annuities must be paid annually in accordance with the rules described above under the section Due Dates.
The renewal fees in Iraq can be settled at any given time. Technically, all annuities can be paid at the same time, meaning that you will only have to pay one, large sum of renewal fee.
No, it is not possible to renew an Iraqi patent after its renewal due date. Once the renewal fee is not paid by the due date, the patent will lapse. For example, if a patent has a renewal due date of 2021-05-31 and the due date is missed, the patent will lapse on 2021-06-01.
A patent will stay in force for 20 years in Iraq from the filing date if successfully renewed in accordance with the rules described above. If the patent is not renewed, it will lapse by the end of the grace period measured from the latest renewal due date.
