Questions fréquemment posées
What is patent maintenance in France?
Patent maintenance refers to the process of paying annual renewal fees to keep a granted patent legally in force throughout its term in France.
How long do I need to maintain a patent in France?
Patents in France can be maintained for up to 20 years from the filing date, provided that renewal fees are paid each year starting from the second anniversary of the filing.
When are renewal fees due for patents in France?
Renewal fees are typically due annually, starting on the second anniversary of the patent filing date and must be paid by the end of the relevant month.
What happens if I miss a renewal fee deadline?
If a renewal fee is not paid on time, there is usually a six-month grace period to pay the fee with an additional surcharge. Missing the grace period results in patent lapse.
Can I restore a patent after it lapses due to missed fees?
In some cases, restoration is possible if the failure to pay was unintentional and a request is filed promptly, but it is subject to strict legal conditions.
Who is responsible for paying patent maintenance fees in France?
The patent owner is responsible for paying the renewal fees, but many applicants appoint patent attorneys or professional services to manage payments and deadlines.
Are maintenance fees the same every year?
No, maintenance fees in France usually increase each year, reflecting the growing value of the patent as it approaches the end of its maximum term.
Is patent maintenance required for patents filed via the European Patent Office?

Maintien des brevets en France
Obtaining a patent is only the beginning—maintaining it over its full term is essential to retain exclusive rights. In France, patent maintenance involves paying annual renewal fees to keep a granted patent in force. Failure to do so results in the patent lapsing and the loss of protection.
The Importance of Timely Maintenance in France
Patent rights in France last up to 20 years from the filing date, but only if annual maintenance fees are paid on time. These fees are due every year starting from the second anniversary of the filing date. If a payment is missed, the patent will lapse, and competitors may use the invention without legal consequences. A six-month grace period is available with a surcharge, but missing that results in irreversible loss of rights.
Key Aspects of Patent Maintenance Services in France
- Fee Structure: Maintenance fees gradually increase over the patent’s lifetime.
- Deadline Tracking: Each patent has its own renewal date; missing even one can be costly.
- Representation: While individuals can pay fees directly, companies often rely on patent attorneys or service providers to manage deadlines and payments efficiently.
- Coverage: Maintenance applies only within French territory unless the patent is also protected through the European Patent or international (PCT) filings.
Benefits of Professional Patent Maintenance in France
- Risk Reduction: Avoid accidental lapses due to missed deadlines.
- Time Savings: Focus on innovation while experts handle administrative tasks.
- Portfolio Management: Professionals can evaluate which patents to maintain based on commercial value.
- Global Coordination: For international portfolios, centralized services help manage renewals across jurisdictions.
Proper patent maintenance ensures that your innovation remains protected and valuable throughout its full legal lifespan.
