Maintenance fees are required under title 35 of the U.S. Code to maintain a patent, other than a design or plant patent, in force. Payment of maintenance fees is required at 3-1/2, 7-1/2, and 11-1/2 years from the date the patent is granted. The patent number and application number of the patent for which a maintenance fee is paid are required by the PTO in order to identify the patent and ensure proper crediting of fee payments. The affected public includes any individual or institution whose application for a patent has been allowed and who desires that the patent remain in force.
