Talk:Maintenance fee (patent)

Italy[edit]

Can somebody provide a source for the fact that the maintenance fees are to be paid in 2007? The source I provided is only about the not-yet-approved project. Thanks. --Edcolins 12:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm actually in the process of investigating this for our firm. Have made clear that the reintroduction of fees is only proposed and have therefore untagged article. Will update with current info as soon I know! GDallimore 11:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganisation[edit]

Thanks for your proposed reorganization. It is a good idea. However, I would wait until there are many more sub-sections. It does not seem justified yet IMHO. It makes things less readable, don't you think so? --Edcolins 21:13, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

External link to feel/renewal resource[edit]

I would suggest you add an external link to www.patentlyprotected.com The index page is a patent cost estimator, which itemises maintenance fees (among others). If someone wants to know roughly what maintenance costs will be for their planned patent family, they would be hard pressed to find a better free resource. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.211.146.57 (talk) 08:29, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your message, and for posting it here before adding the external link to the article. The link seems interesting. However I am just wondering how reliable the tool is and whether there are secondary sources which have reviewed the source. We usually do not insert external links unless a secondary, independent, and reliable source has shown that the resource is reliable. So far, I have not been able to see with a Google search whether the resource was reliable. --Edcolins 19:00, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

US[edit]

The period to reinstate a lapsed patent is "two years from the end of the grace period" and not "two years from date on which maintenance was due". Kindly correct it. DJ 14:53 12 Jan 2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.143.213.222 (talk • contribs)

Thanks for catching that.--Nowa (talk) 00:48, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
