Within 3 months after the notification of the European Patent Office regarding the grant of a patent has been published in the Official Gazette of the European Patent Office, the holder of the patent has to submit to the Patent Office a translation of the European patent claims in Latvian (by paying a state fee for the publication electronically 36 EUR).

Additional annual maintenance fees start from the third year (from filing date) and are 90 EUR for the 3rd year, 130 EUR for 4th year etc.
