How much should this patent cost?

It's not a bad thing that your utility model patent for "a mosquito killer" was auctioned by an auction institution. Beijing Golden Hammer Baocheng International Auction Co., Ltd. specializes in auctioning patents and artworks and is unlikely to be deceived. As a patent holder, you can fill out a form or something, as long as they don't charge you. It is not economical to pay an annual fee to "support" a utility model patent without production transformation and benefit from the transfer. As for the starting price, it depends on your psychological orientation and research and development costs. If the patent conversion value is large and the protection scope is large, it can be priced at 500 thousand to 6.5438+0.5 thousand yuan, which is affordable for real units to use it for production; If the patent is very general, or the scope of protection is not very large, it can be located at 500 to 654.38+ 10,000 yuan, and other units can use it. If it is set high and the scope of patent protection is not large, they will bypass the core demands of patents to produce and defend their rights through litigation. You should also consider the possibility and probability of benefit. Of course, to judge the value of this patent, you can also consult the patent agent who represents you. He knows and judges it more or less. I think since it's an auction, we can set the starting price lower. You set the good patent at 6,543,800 yuan. If someone wants to grab it, it may increase to 6.5438+0 million yuan or 5 million yuan. If no one buys it, you set it at 500 yuan, and no one cares.
