Guidance

After Granting

Provided that your invention meets the prerequisites of the law for protection and the annual renewal fees are paid on time, the grant of a patent and the registration in the patents register of the Republic of Cyprus, provides you protection for twenty (20) years (or, up to twenty five (25) years in case of granting a Supplementary Protection Certificate for Pharmaceutical or plant-protection products or up to twenty five (25) years and six (6) months in case of pediatric pharmaceutical products).

Non-timely renewal of your patent leads to annulment of the patent, and in such case the protection rights provided to you by the law are lost.
