Patent Restoration
Restore Your Lapsed Patent Rights with Patent Pleader
Missing a patent renewal deadline can be stressful, but losing your patent rights doesn’t have to be permanent. Patent restoration is a legal pathway that allows you to reinstate your lapsed patent under specific conditions. At Patent Pleader, our expert intellectual property lawyers will guide you through this process, ensuring your innovations are once again protected.
What is Patent Restoration?
Patent restoration allows you to revive a patent that has lapsed due to unpaid renewal fees. Often, patents expire unintentionally due to missed deadlines or financial challenges. Fortunately, most patent laws provide a “grace period” during which you can apply for restoration by paying overdue fees and presenting a valid reason for the delay.
