Core of the service
- Global patent renewal management
- Digital visibility into deadlines, costs and instructions
- Expert support for patent portfolio maintenance
What does the service help solve?
Visibility into costs
Upcoming deadlines and cost estimates are available in one view. This supports budgeting and helps assess in which countries patent protection should be maintained.
Less manual work
Payment instructions can be reviewed and submitted digitally. This reduces fragmented email chains, separate lists and manual tracking.
Clearer decision-making
When patent-specific information, deadlines and costs are easily available, maintenance decisions can be made on time and with a clearer overall view.
Patent renewal service for different patent portfolio needs
Patent renewal management varies by organization. Smaller teams need clear deadline tracking, while larger companies need visibility into costs, decisions and patent maintenance across countries.
Greip Patent Renewal Service helps track renewal fees, cost estimates and payment instructions digitally through the Greip client portal.
A clearer way to manage patent renewals
For corporate IP teams, each patent renewal is also a portfolio decision: where should protection be maintained, and why?
Greip Patent Renewal Service brings key patent renewal information into one clear view.
- anticipate renewal costs
- track deadlines and payment instructions
- reduce manual work
- maintain the right patents in the right countries.

- Support decisions on which patents to maintain, license or discontinue

Two service models for different management needs
When you want to minimize your own administrative work.Autopay Service

The service can be expanded step by step as your needs develop.
Greip Base works as the platform and operational engine of the service. It enables patent renewal management to start as a clear, focused service and later expand into broader IP portfolio management. The service can be expanded step by step as your needs develop.
Greip Base is the foundational tier of the platform, included with the patent renewal service, and it runs underneath all three stages below. It is a lightweight but fully functional foundation for IP management: it covers both patent renewal management, and the handling of patent and utility model applications together with the client’s agent partner, in the same platform.
Three steps:
1. Patent renewal and prosecution management
Patent renewal management (visibility into upcoming annuity payments, deadlines, payment instructions and costs) and handling of patent and utility model applications together with the client’s agent partner.
2. IP & Portfolio management (service expansion to Greip 10)
Invention management and a better overall view of the IP portfolio, costs and lifecycle decisions. Greip 10 is modular and scalable and can be configired to match your organization, processes and IP portfolio. See more here. LINK
3. Strategic IP management (Greip 10)
IP data supports business, investment and competitive advantage decisions.
