We know that timely payment of the annuities is important for remaining protection in force.

Thanks to our advanced annuity reminder system we not only attend to the payments in due time but most importantly monitor upcoming annuity deadlines and ask our clients for instructions long time before any official payment falls due.

Our office supervises payment of all the official fees related to patents granted or validated in Poland, as well as all the renewal fees related to industrial designs, utility models and trademarks.

We also supervise payments of all the official fees related to patents granted or validated in other countries.

We are aware of the utmost importance of timely paid annuities to maintain patent protection in force.
