- In Netherlands, invention patents are protected for up to 20 years from the filing date. Annual fees are required starting from the third year after filing, and the due date for each annual fee is the last day of the month in which the anniversary of the filing date occurs.
- If a renewal fee is not paid by the due date, the applicant or owner may still pay it within a 6-month grace period, subject to a surcharge of 50 % of the applicable annual fee.
Dutch Design Patent Annuities
