The grace period of the patent is 3 years and if in the fourth year it is not paid, then the applicant is considered dead and is billed by the state.

Strategies for obtaining patents: producing an invention, knowing the invention, having patentability, writing the invention according to the format/standard of the patent document and carrying out patent procedures.
