An annuity (also known as an Annuity Fee, Renewal Fee or Maintenance Fee) is an official Government fee payable to the relevant Patent Office to keep a Patent, Registered Design and Trademark in force. An annuity is usually payable annually. Albright Patents LLP provides a very cost-effective world-wide annuity payment service, which includes sending of reminders when the annuity becomes due and payment of the annuity on your behalf.
