Re: How do we check the particular Patent' renewal schedule

Hi As an applicant, you should be able to see that in your online filing account.

Re: Delay in visibility after grant

Hi, The EPO has a publication date and time set for Wednesday, 14:00 CET/CEST. All tools and services update biblio data at that time. Depending on amount of data and all processes including indexing it can take some minutes that entire new contact is released. https://ops.epo.org/3.2/rest-services/...
