Patent renewal fees in Turkmenistan: costs, due dates and grace period
Where you pay in Turkmenistan depends on where you filed: filings made at the EAPO renew there, national filings at the State Service on Intellectual Property under the Ministry of Economy and Development of Turkmenistan. 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: nothing extra for the first one month, then 70 USD.
What are the patent renewal due dates in Turkmenistan?
Turkmenistan is a contracting state of the Eurasian Patent Office (EAPO). An EAPO patent takes effect in Turkmenistan once the EAPO grants it, and you pay its renewal fees directly to the EAPO, not to the State Service on Intellectual Property under the Ministry of Economy and Development of Turkmenistan. National patents follow their own rules.

Missed a patent renewal deadline in Turkmenistan?
A six-month grace period runs from the day after the due date. You can still pay the renewal fee with a surcharge on top: nothing extra for the first one month, then 70 USD, 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.

1. What do I pay while the application is pending?
Nothing, whichever route you filed through. Once the office grants the patent, your first payment covers everything that built up while you waited.
2. When can I pay the renewal fee?
Up to 3 months 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. You pay nothing extra for the first month, then 70 USD. 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.
