Give your agent the tools it deserves

Before I run this, three things materially change the number for India: the filing route, the applicant type (natural persons, startups, small entities and universities get a large discount), and the grant date, since renewals only become payable once granted.

iPify prices the five-year window at INR 16,000 (≈ EUR 143.41) in official renewal fees. Year 5 is the catch-up: India's renewals fall due only after grant, so the accrued years land together: INR 12,000 due 2030-11-25, then an ordinary INR 4,000 for year 6 due 2031-08-25, each with a six-month grace period and a year of restoration behind it. Schedule 1 of the Indian Patent Rules, rev 20260825. The grant date is a hypothesis: shift it and the year-5 figure moves.

iPify priced all 100 cases: 877 official renewal fees falling due through 2036, totalling ≈ EUR 398,272.57 across nine currencies, with each case's deadlines and grace periods on its own line. The full result is below; from here you can drop lapsing cases or change entity status and re-price the decade.

Yes: 228, and every one is on the ledger. Two kinds. For cases not yet granted, iPify estimated the missing lifecycle dates (grant, allowance, grant notice) to place the post-grant renewals. Where the CSV did not carry a fee-driving fact, it defaulted one and said so: entity status to regular, claim counts to ten, license of right to no, e-filing rates. Give me a real value for any of them and I re-run the forecast.

INR 384,000 (≈ EUR 3,441.91) in official renewal fees through the full 20-year term for a national filing by a regular entity, filed 2026-08-25 and granted 2031-08-25. The fee steps up in bands: years 3–6 accrue before grant and fall due together, INR 16,000 by 2031-11-25, then years 7–10 run at INR 12,000 a year, years 11–15 at 24,000, and years 16–20 at 40,000.

If the applicant qualifies as a natural person, startup, small entity or university, the same simulation totals INR 76,800 (≈ EUR 688.38). Official fees only, on India's current schedule, and statutory fees can change over a 20-year horizon.

The UK renewal fees in force today took effect on 2026-04-01. That is the schedule iPify prices from, and every fee line cites the IPO's published fee list. This answer comes from Legal Knowledge Base revision 20260825; when a schedule changes, the revision changes with it. Give me a case and a year and I will price it under the current schedule.
