Renewal fees in Venezuela 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 12 months after the grant date to the Autonomous Service of Intellectual Property (SAPI).
For example, if the grant date is 2022-01-20, then the first renewal must be paid by 2023-01-20.
After the first renewal has been paid, all subsequent annuities must be paid annually on the anniversary of the grant date.
For example, if the grant date was on November 9, then all subsequent annuities will be due on November 9 each year.

There are no annuities due in Venezuela 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 fee in Venezuela can be paid up to 6 months before the renewal due date. It is important to note that the renewal fee cannot be paid earlier than this. Any payments made before the opening of the payment window will result in the payment being rejected.
No, it is not possible to renew an Venezuelan 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.
