FAQ

How many this month patent patents are approaching a maintenance fee deadline?
There are 500 this month patent patents in our current dataset with maintenance fees due soon. Fee windows run from 2026-10-16 to 2026-10-18. Data sourced from the USPTO PTMNFEE2 bulk dataset, updated weekly.
What happens if a maintenance fee is not paid?
The patent lapses and the technology enters the public domain — meaning competitors (and anyone else) can freely use the invention without licensing fees or infringement risk.
How do I get alerted when a this month patent patent is about to lapse?
PatentLapse Pro sends you email alerts 6 months, 3 months, and 30 days before any patent you're watching closes its fee window — for $99/mo, a fraction of what enterprise tools like Derwent charge.
Where does the data come from?
All data comes from the official USPTO Patent Maintenance Fee Events (PTMNFEE2) bulk dataset — public domain, no scraping. We process it weekly so you always see the freshest window-close dates.
Can I monitor a competitor's entire patent portfolio?
Yes. PatentLapse Pro lets you set a company-wide watch — you get a single digest of every upcoming lapse across their portfolio. Useful for strategic planning, freedom-to-operate analysis, and product launch timing.
