A Peruvian patent requires annual maintenance fees, payable throughout prosecution and after grant, to stay in force for its full 20-year term. Our team at Brealant tracks your annual due dates and manages payment so your rights never lapse.
Legal Definition of Patent Renewal
Renewal, or annual maintenance fees (anualidades), are yearly payments due to INDECOPI under Decision 486 and Legislative Decree 1075, payable throughout the life of the application and, later, the granted patent.
Grace Period Only
The grace period is the outer limit — after that, restoration options are very limited.
Doesn't Extend the Term
Payment maintains the patent within its existing 20-year term; it doesn't extend that term.

Response
You receive confirmation once the fee is recorded.
In Peru, annual maintenance fees fall due each year from the anniversary of the filing date, payable annually for the life of the application or patent, through to the 20th year of the term. INDECOPI allows a grace period after each due date, subject to a surcharge.
Missing an annual fee payment, including the grace period, causes the application or patent to lapse, often with very limited restoration options. Brealant's centralised tracking removes this risk, especially for businesses managing multiple patents or jurisdictions.
Renewal keeps a patent in force, but it has boundaries
No Substantive Changes
Renewal cannot be used to change the claims or scope of the application or granted patent.
Grace Period Only
The grace period is the outer limit — after that, restoration options are very limited.
Doesn't Extend the Term
Payment maintains the patent within its existing 20-year term; it doesn't extend that term.
Doesn't Prevent Challenge
A maintained patent can still be challenged for validity through nullity proceedings.
Ownership Must Be Current
Renewal doesn't update ownership records — an assignment must be separately recorded if the owner has changed.
Brealant reviews your patent's status as part of every renewal to flag any of these issues early.
Timely annual fee payment protects
Exclusive Rights
Your continued exclusive right to make, use, and sell the invention across Peru.
Licensing Revenue
The ongoing basis for any existing or future licensing arrangements.
Enforcement Standing
Your ability to take infringement action based on a patent, or application, that remains in force.
Commercial Value
The market value of your patent as a business and investment asset.
Renewal is a simple, recurring step that preserves everything your filing and grant achieved.
Renewal follows a predictable, date-driven schedule

Grace Period (If Needed)

INDECOPI's annual maintenance fees, in Peruvian soles (S/), generally increase as the patent term progresses, plus a surcharge applies during the grace period.

Annual maintenance fees are payable from early in the life of the application, generally on each anniversary of the filing date, continuing after grant.
You have a grace period with a surcharge; after that, the application or patent lapses and rights are lost.
Yes, INDECOPI's annual maintenance fees are generally tiered and increase as the term progresses.
Yes, we can manage ongoing annual fee payments for existing Peruvian patents regardless of who handled the original filing.
Up to 20 years from the filing date, provided all annual maintenance fees are paid on time.
Yes, INDECOPI grants a 6-month grace period after the due date to pay an overdue annuity, subject to a surcharge on top of the standard fee.
Some flexibility exists to pay ahead, but we generally recommend paying each annuity as it falls due to avoid overpayment if the patent is later abandoned or challenged.
Reinstatement after the grace period expires is generally not available in Peru, so a lapsed patent typically cannot be restored — this makes tracking deadlines critical.
Not automatically — the registered owner remains responsible for annuities unless the license agreement specifically shifts that obligation to the licensee.
Yes, we offer coordinated renewal management for Peru alongside other jurisdictions so deadlines are tracked centrally.
