Proper patent maintenance is essential for managing this intangible asset. All patents must pay annual renewal fees in order to remain in force. At Abril Abogados, we provide patent maintenance services that prevent the loss of rights due to failure to pay the corresponding annuities. Our maintenance and renewal services are available worldwide, supported by our extensive network of collaborators.
Once the deadlines for paying the required annuities have passed, the patent lapses. However, in some cases, all is not lost. At Abril Abogados, we also offer restoration of rights services which, provided certain specific requirements are met, allow the patent to be reinstated.
