What are the renewal official fees for various patents in Australia ?
What are regulations on grace period and surtax ?
Answer:
The renewal official fees for various patents in Australia are determined by the  IP Australia. These fees are paid to the government and are based on the fee schedule provided by IP Australia. Please refer to the following website link for more information: https://patent.evershinecpa.com/patent-renewal-fees-en?country=AU&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 application 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. If you don’t renew your patent on time, and you use the six- month grace period, you’ll need to pay an extra $100 for each month (or part of the month) that the fee isn’t paid.
If the payment is not made 6 months after the due date, the patent will be expired.
