How does patent renewal work In Iceland?

Renewal fees are payable to the Icelandic Intellectual Property Office in respect of national patent applications.

Whereas for a pending European patent application an applicant must pay a single maintenance fee at the EPO, after grant, during the term of the European patent, maintenance fees are payable to the national patent office, where the patent has been validated and is sought to be kept in force.

What is the deadline for renew a patent in Iceland?

The annual fees are due each year on the last day of the application month.

For example if the application for the patent was submitted on October 9, 2012 and granted on May 8, 2019. The due date for the payment of the annual fee is October 31.
