Understanding Patent Renewal Process 📜

Can patents be renewed? 🤔 Absolutely! In fact, most patents require it to maintain enforceability. In this video, I’ll break down the key differences between utility and design patents, and the steps you need to take to keep your rights intact.

For utility patents, you’ll need to pay maintenance fees at the 3, 7, and 11-year marks during the patent’s 20-year lifespan to keep it valid. Design patents, however, don't require renewal. Curious about what happens when someone challenges your patent's validity? I also dive into how you can work with a judge to amend or extend your patent rights in certain situations.
