Patent annuity payment services – simple and secure

Outsourcing patent renewals to Patrafee saves you time and reduces your costs. You will also gain significantly greater security, as there will be virtually zero risk of missing a patent payment. Another benefit of outsourcing the maintenance fees will be that you will reduce all your channels, registrars, agents and patent offices to one single contact – Patrafee.

Maintenance services are crucial
Patent annuities – or patent renewals or maintenance fees – may not be the most exciting part of your business. Yet it is crucial to handle them in a strictly secure manner to eliminate the risks of missing a payment. Our standing order service means you can forget about spending time on fees and deadlines during the patents’ life cycle. We will continue to renew and pay the annuities until such time you notify us otherwise – a solution that means the minimum of work for you, and the maximum security.

Save time in-house
You will save having to pay patent fees and keep a check on dates, rules and deadlines that vary from country to country and are subject to frequent changes. Patrafee takes care of everything. You also will not have to develop and maintain your own procedures and in-house know-how.

Outsource your annuities – and save patent costs
There is no scope to do anything about official charges but we are often able to get a reduction in renewal fees around the world thanks to the volumes we handle. And as the Patrafee system is also available to our thousands of customers, the cost of monitoring the annuities is low compared with the resources you would have to allocate in-house.

Having worked closely with leading IP law firms for over three decades, we know the intellectual property sector inside out. In terms of breadth and security, the potential IP law firm/Patrafee combination is unbeatable. We have developed our services in consultation with IP law firms, and customised them to both the IP sector, IP departments in-house at companies and individual inventors.
