Answer:
You must renew the patent in the second year of patent application.
You must pay an annual fee even if your patent has not been published.
The patent is then renewed each year before the “due date” (the last day of the month of the first filing date).
Patents can be renewed up to 12 months before the due date.
The annual fee can still be legally paid up to 6 months after the due date, but there is a 50% surcharge fee to be paid.
If the payment is not made within 6 months after the due date, the patent will be expired.
