Fee deadlines

Maintenance fees fall due 3.5, 7.5 and 11.5 years after grant. A missed fee ends a patent at the end of the six month grace period that follows, not on the due date.
  • 1 fee due Dec 20, 2026
    The maintenance fee for Low etch pit density 6 inch semi-insulating gallium arsenide wafers (US 11,680,340) comes due Dec 20, 2026. Unpaid by Jun 21, 2027, it lapses early.
