    Res. 113/13

    An annual fee must be paid for a patent application or a granted patent. Annual fees for a patent application must be paid while the application is being processed by the Office. If the patent is granted, the annual fees must continue to be paid for as long as the patent remains in force.
    Annual fees are due starting from the beginning of the 3rd year, counted from the filing date with the Office. This means no annual fees are due during the first two years after filing.
    For patent applications filed under the PCT, the date for counting the annual fee period is the date of international filing of the patent application.
    For each annual fee, there is a standard deadline of 3 months and an extended deadline of 6 months for payment.
    The fee is higher if paid during the extended period. The amount also varies depending on whether the application or patent is for an invention or a utility model. The amounts of the annual fees are indicated in Annex BR.I.
    When a PCT application enters the national phase in Brazil, any due annuities must be paid within 3 months from the entry of the application into the national phase in Brazil.
