- via Paris Convention : 12 months from earliest priority date.
- via Nationalization of PCT : 31 months from earliest priority date.
- Authorization Fee: None
- Annuity: The renewal fee is paid every 5 years. If the renewal fee is not paid within the time limit, it can be paid within the 6-month grace period and the penalty should be paid at the same time.
