You can't renew a patent. Utility patents get a 20 year term, design patents get 15 years.

- sharken 4y agoWhen a patent can take up to four years to be granted, and two years in most cases, then the current model is not sufficient. Instead it ought to be a number of years from the day the patent is granted. For software that should be around 5 years, if we really need software patents.
