Deadlines & practical notes (AT)
• Austrian renewals are due annually from the 6th year onward.
• A grace period may be available for missed deadlines, typically with surcharges. Timing and conditions differ—confirm for your case.
• For EP validations, annuities shift to the Austrian Patent Office post-grant.
• Keep ownership and address of service current to avoid missed notices. We can assist with recordals before the next renewal.
• For portfolios, consider bundling AT renewals with other jurisdictions for consolidated billing and discounted service fees.
What we need from you
- • AT or EP application or patent number
- • Legal owner / customer number (if any)
- • Desired instructions (maintain / lapse / evaluate)
- • Invoicing and payment preferences
Strategic advisory, not just payments
Renewals affect portfolio value. We map AT renewals to your global strategy—pruning low-value assets, extending core coverage, and aligning with licensing and enforcement plans. Expect clear, commercial advice—not just a payment receipt.
- Cost–value triage and coverage heatmaps
- Compliance guardrails and lapse risk alerts
- Audit-ready documentation and receipts
- Grace-period and surcharge handling
