How to renew your registration

You can renew the registration of your utility model by paying a renewal fee. The renewal fee is due for payment on the last day of the month when the registration period ends. The earliest you can pay the renewal fee is one year before the due date, and the latest is six months after the due date. If you pay the renewal fee after the due date, you must also pay a higher fee.

For example: You filed your utility model application on 16 June 2018.

• The first due date for the renewal is 30 June 2022.
• The earliest date you can renew the registration is 30 June 2021.
• The latest date you can renew the registration is 31 December 2022, but you will have to pay a higher renewal fee.

Indicate on the payment receipt:

• the registration number and name of the holder of the utility model or
• the reference number that you can find in our Patent Information Service. Go to Patent Information Service.

Please note that if you fail to pay the renewal fee, the utility model will lapse and you cannot validate it again.
