Patent renewal fees in Peru: costs, due dates and grace period
You pay patent renewals in Peru to the INDECOPI, in PEN, up to year 20. The schedule starts on the last day of the filing month one year after filing, granted or not. 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 Peru?
Peru 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 on the last day of the filing month one year after filing, payable to the INDECOPI.
For example, if the filing date is 2020-03-15, the first renewal will be due by 2021-03-31.
Every later annuity falls due on the last day of the filing month, each year, until year 20.
For example, if the filing date was on March 15, then all subsequent annuities will be due by March 31 each year.

Missed a patent renewal deadline in Peru?
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 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?
The same annuities you pay after grant. Peru starts the schedule one year after filing, and it runs whether or not the office has granted your patent by then.
2. When can I pay the renewal fee?
Whenever you like. In Peru, 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.
