The renewal official fees for various patents in USA are determined by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). These fees are paid to the government and are based on the fee schedule provided by USPTO. Please refer to the following website link for more information: https://patent.evershinecpa.com/patent-renewal-fees-en?country=US&language=en-us

After the patent right is granted, the term of the invention patent right is 20 years from the application date.
During the validity period of the patent, an annual fee is required to be paid every year.
Patents are renewed each year before the “due date” (The issue date).
Patents can be renewed up to 3 months before the renewal due date.
You can still legally pay the annual fee within 6 months after the due date. There is a surcharge fee for payments made after the due date within this 6-month period: For big entities, the fee is $500.00; for small entities, it’s $200.00; and for micro entities, it’s $100.00.
If the payment is not received within 6 months after the due date, the patent will expire.
