When do I have to pay annual fees in Russia?

Annual renewal fees for patents have to be paid from the third year onwards. Fees for the first two years have to be paid in a lump sum together with the fee for grant. Subsequent annual renewal fees are payable yearly in advance on the anniversary of the filing date. Annual fees for utility models have to be paid from the first year onwards.
