Where you pay in Russia depends on where you filed: filings made at the EAPO renew there, national filings at the Federal Service for Intellectual Property. The patent runs up to year 20 either way. Miss a due date and you get a 6-month grace period, with a surcharge on top.
Russia is a contracting state of the Eurasian Patent Office (EAPO). An EAPO patent takes effect in Russia once the EAPO grants it, and you pay its renewal fees directly to the EAPO, not to the Federal Service for Intellectual Property. National patents follow their own rules.
Official fees payable to the Federal Service for Intellectual Property, by patent year, in RUB. These are the national route fees. A patent filed through the EAPO is renewed there instead, on its own fee schedule.

The official fees are fixed. What your provider adds on top is not. Send your email and we'll show you what these renewals should really cost.
A six-month grace period runs from the day after the due date. You can still pay the renewal fee with a surcharge that depends on the patent year, up to 50%, and the patent continues without interruption. Once the grace period closes, the patent lapses.
If you miss a renewal due date of 15 March 2026, the patent enters the grace period on 16 March 2026. Settle the renewal fee and the surcharge by 15 September 2026 to keep the patent in force.
The same schedule, deadlines and grace rules, in the jurisdictions we are asked about most.
Patents, trademarks and designs in other countries and regions.
Patents aren't the only rights that lapse without renewal. Russia also protects trademarks and designs. Each on its own schedule and fee scale.

Nothing, whichever route you filed through. Once the office grants the patent, your first payment covers everything that built up while you waited.
Up to 12 months before the due date, and no earlier. Send it earlier and the office rejects the payment.
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. The surcharge depends on the patent year, up to 50%. Miss the window too and the patent lapses.
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.
