RIYADH – Pursuant to Saudi Arabian Patent Law, annuities have to be paid for issued patents and pending applications between 1 January and 31 March of the year following the national phase application’s filing date. Therefore, all annuities due from PCT filing date until national phase entry must be paid along with the initial filing fees.
In case the applicant fails to do so, a grace period of three (3) months is given with a penalty equal to double the original prescribed fees.
Please send your patent annuity instructions to info@qumsieh.com.
