// ONE NORDIC WORKFLOW

One contact for four national renewal systems

NordicIP brings four offices, currencies and deadline systems into one clear renewal workflow:

  • A single English-speaking contact for all four jurisdictions, with every national-office communication managed and reported clearly.
  • A flat handling fee per annuity, quoted on request, so you know the cost before you commit.
  • Active deadline control — every due date and grace period is docketed and followed up well ahead of time.
  • Local-currency official fees handled for you — arranged with each national office, correctly and on time.
  • One consolidated invoice, in EUR or GBP, covering the coordinated national payments.

// COVERAGE

European patents validated in the Nordics are renewed nationally

We handle annuity (maintenance) payments in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. These are the recurring official fees due to a national patent office to keep a granted patent in force. A European patent validated in one or more of these countries is maintained nationally from validation onward, so its annuities fall due separately in each country of validation, on that country’s own schedule.

// FAQ

Annuity questions

Which countries do you cover for annuities?
We pay patent annuities and maintenance fees in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden — the four jurisdictions we cover as a local agent.
How are annuity fees charged?
Each payment combines the official government fee for that jurisdiction with our flat handling fee per annuity. The handling fee remains fixed regardless of the patent’s value or renewal year, and everything is invoiced together in EUR or GBP.
What happens if a deadline is close or missed?
Send NordicIP the patent number and complete deadline information immediately. We check the available grace-period or restoration route, confirm the surcharge and action required, and prioritise the payment. Early instructions preserve the widest range of options.
When are patent annuities due in Denmark?
The official fee changes by fee year. DKPTO applies a six-month late-payment period with a 20% increase. NordicIP checks the Danish register, confirms the exact fee year and manages payment and receipt.
When are patent annuities due in Finland?
PRH sets the annual due date on the last day of the month containing the original filing date. The first payment covers years one to three. A six-month late-payment period carries a 20% surcharge.
When are patent annuities due in Norway?
Patentstyret sets the due date on the last day of the calendar month in which the fee year begins. The first payment is due for the third fee year. A six-month late-payment period carries the published additional fee.
When are patent annuities due in Sweden?
PRV sets the due date on the last day of the first month of the fee year. The first annual payment is due when the patent enters its third year. A six-month late-payment period carries a 20% increase.
