Estonia: taking a PCT application to grant costs an estimated US$2,610, plus about US$8,004 in renewal fees over the patent's life. The PCT national phase for Estonia must be entered within 31 months of the earliest priority date. A European patent, granted by the European Patent Office, can also be validated in Estonia; most patent protection there is obtained this way.
Most patent protection in Estonia is obtained through the European Patent Office: a European patent validated in Estonia. The figures on this page count only applications filed directly with Estonia's own patent office, so they understate its market. See Europe (EPO, 39 states).
Our estimate is about US$2,610 to take a PCT application to grant in Estonia. That is about US$1,500 in official fees and US$1,110 in attorney fees. By stage: filing US$930, search US$300, examination request US$450, office action response US$350 and grant / issuance / publication US$580 (one office action response included). Renewal fees over the patent's life add an estimated US$8,004. These are estimates only, for a standard application (10 claims, 30 pages, a company applicant): the actual cost depends on the law firm and the application.
