    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.
