If a search request is filed, the subsequent examination fee is reduced. The following calculation is based on the standard model without a prior search request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patent Renewal Fees: From the 3rd to the 20th Year of Protection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annual renewal fees (maintenance fees) become due from the 3rd year of protection onward and increase significantly over time. During the early years, the fees remain moderate; from approximately the 10th year onward, the increase becomes more pronounced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Late payment surcharge: If an annual renewal fee is not paid on time, payment can still be made within a grace period, subject to a late payment surcharge. As a rule, this surcharge amounts to \u20ac50 per late annual fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Table: Annual Fees and Cumulative Official Fees (Years 1\u201320)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following table shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the annual fee per year of protection (from year 3 onward),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the cumulative official fees up to and including the respective year (including the one-time \u20ac390 filing and examination fees).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: In years 1 and 2, no annual fees are due; the cumulative total already includes the one-time fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n  <table>\n    <thead>\n      <tr>\n        <th scope=\"col\">Year of Protection<\/th>\n        <th scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:right;\">Annual Fee (\u20ac)<\/th>\n        <th scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:right;\">Cumulative Official Fees (\u20ac)<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n    <tbody>\n      <tr><td>1<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>0&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>390&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>2<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>0&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>390&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>3<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>70&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>460&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>4<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>70&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>530&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>5<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>100&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>630&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>6<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>150&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>780&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>7<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>210&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>990&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>8<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>280&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>1.270&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>9<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>350&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>1.620&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>10<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>430&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>2.050&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>11<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>540&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>2.590&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>12<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>680&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>3.270&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>13<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>830&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>4.100&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>14<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>980&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>5.080&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>15<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>1.130&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>6.210&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>16<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>1.310&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>7.520&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>17<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>1.490&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>9.010&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>18<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>1.670&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>10.680&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>19<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>1.840&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>12.520&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>20<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>2.030&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><td style='text-align:right;'>14.550&nbsp;\u20ac<\/td><\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chart: Annual Individual Fees vs. Cumulative Total Costs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wmw-patent.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dpma_patent_kosten_20jahre-1024x506.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wmw-patent.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dpma_patent_kosten_20jahre-1024x506.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.wmw-patent.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dpma_patent_kosten_20jahre-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/www.wmw-patent.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dpma_patent_kosten_20jahre-768x380.png 768w, https:\/\/www.wmw-patent.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dpma_patent_kosten_20jahre-1536x759.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.wmw-patent.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dpma_patent_kosten_20jahre-2048x1012.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.wmw-patent.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dpma_patent_kosten_20jahre-18x9.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Do Annual Fees Increase?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annual fees are deliberately structured progressively: the longer a patent (or patent application) is maintained, the higher the fees become. In practice, this often leads to a strategic review and streamlining of patent portfolios after several years \u2014 for example, when the commercial relevance of a technology declines or a product cycle ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our recommendation: Regularly review which patents remain strategically important and which may no longer justify continued maintenance from a cost-benefit perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The costs of a German patent application consist of comparatively low initial fees (filing and examination fees) and significantly increasing annual renewal fees in later years. Applicants intending to maintain protection for the full 20-year term should therefore consider the growing official patent fees in their IP budget planning at an early stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to a European patent (EP), the pure official fees for a German patent are generally moderate. The German patent is also widely regarded by clients as a practical and reliable form of protection \u2014 not least due to the high-quality substantive examination and the well-established procedural framework at the DPMA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>German patent litigation practice is characterized by long-standing, well-established case law and experienced courts, which often enhances predictability in enforcement proceedings. By contrast, the Unified Patent Court (UPC), as a relatively new judicial system for disputes concerning European patents and Unitary Patents, is still developing its body of case law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does a German patent application at the DPMA cost \u2013 and which official patent fees accrue over the maximum term of 20 years from the filing date?
