Patent renewals
Description
Securing a patent is only the beginning. To keep an invention protected, patent holders must manage renewals across different countries, each with its own timelines, currencies and legal requirements. Missing a renewal deadline can result in the permanent loss of rights, leading to costly legal and commercial consequences.
For organizations managing large global portfolios, renewals quickly become complex. They require ongoing tracking of thousands of deadlines, efficient cost management and careful adherence to each jurisdiction’s procedures. RWS streamlines this entire process with a complete, end-to-end patent renewal service. Combining advanced technology, global agent networks and expert portfolio managers, we help clients protect their IP assets with full visibility and control. Whether managing a single patent or thousands across multiple territories, RWS ensures accuracy, compliance and cost-efficiency – all backed by decades of IP expertise.

- Tracking: Tracking renewal deadlines and payments in real time.
