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.
  • 2 fees due May 12 to 14, 2027 · next May 12
  • 1 fee due Nov 5, 2027
    The maintenance fee for High-temperature magnetostrictive guided wave pipe inspection system (US 10,641,741) comes due Nov 5, 2027. Unpaid by May 5, 2028, it lapses early.
