News about patent fees

Dear friends,

In the light of recent epidemiological situation in the country, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed an enactment that extended time for payment of patent and other fees due to the Federal Service for Intellectual Property (Rospatent) to conduct legally binding actions, for which the deadlines expire in the period from March 30, 2020 to November 30, 2020.

The payment time is extended until December 31, 2020.

To extend the time for payment of fees, it is necessary to file a petition with Rospatent either within one month from the expiration date, or until July 21, 2020, depending on which date comes later.
