Patent renewal fees in Israel: costs, due dates and grace period
You pay patent renewals in Israel to the Israel Patent Office, in ILS, 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 that starts at 240 ILS and climbs to 1440 ILS.
What are the patent renewal due dates in Israel?
Israel 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 three months after the grant date, payable to the Israel Patent Office.
For example, if the grant date is 2022-01-20, then the first renewal must be paid by 2022-04-20.
Renewals in Israel are not annual. After the first payment, fees fall due at the 6th, 10th, 14th and 18th filing anniversaries, and nothing is payable in the years between.
For example, if the filing date is 2020-02-01, then the 7th annuity must be paid by 2026-02-01.

Missed a patent renewal deadline in Israel?
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 240 ILS and climbs to 1440 ILS, and the patent continues without interruption. Once the grace period closes, the patent lapses.
If you miss a renewal due date of 31 March 2026, the patent enters the grace period on 1 April 2026. Settle the renewal fee and the surcharge by 30 September 2026 to keep the patent in force.

1. What do I pay while the application is pending?
Nothing. You pay no annuities in Israel while your application is pending. Payments start once the office grants your patent.
2. When can I pay the renewal fee?
Up to 1 month 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 240 ILS and climbs to 1440 ILS 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.
