: : If by the lack of funds I was unable to maintain my patents and fell behind with the maintenance fees, and then four years later found financial help, how difficult would it be for me to reinstate my patents with the USPTO? and how much would it cost approximately? : Without research, my gut says that might not be a reason for reenstatement. There is a petition to be filed and the old and new fees to be paid. I is not inexpensive. : While it may cost more, if you have an improvement on the old patent, the improvement might give a legitimate new live to the invention. : Good luck to you. : M.
