Patents Grant Fee HELP

 

You have selected the option to pay a patent grant fee. You are now invited to enter the patent application number in the box (example below). You can find this number on the letter/email you received requesting payment of the grant fee.

 

 

 

A single number or multiple numbers can be entered. When entering more than one number separate each number with a comma. e.g. 2017/0001, S2018/0059 etc.

 

Irish short-term patent application numbers have the letter "S" preceding the number; this letter "S" must be entered as part of the number.

 

In the case of a pending patent application for which a grant fee has been requested the application number must be entered as follows: 2018/0001 or S2019/0001.   

 

Numbers can be cut and pasted from a word document or an EXCEL spreadsheet.

 

The BROWSE button on this screen can be used to locate your file containing the numbers to be granted and having located this file you can insert all the numbers by clicking on the LOAD FILE button. This is a very useful feature where large volumes of renewals are being processed.

 

You must not enter a mixture of patent, trademark or design numbers.  Confine the number to the category you initially selected.  Once you have entered your number or numbers you should click the PROCEED button on the bottom right of the screen to proceed.
