However, for a specific patent application, the fees in most websites are unnecessary. Therefore, the author only states that the fees for normal patent application are normal, and other extra fees may be incurred under specific circumstances.
Patents include three types: invention, utility model and design. Before the patent is submitted for authorization, the invention fee is 3450 yuan, and the utility model and design fee is 500 yuan. After China National Intellectual Property Administration decided to authorize, the invention cost 255 yuan, and the utility model and design cost 205 yuan.
Therefore, the official cost of invention before authorization is 3705 yuan, and the official cost of utility model and design is 705 yuan.
Extended data:
The annual patent fee is not an equal figure, but will be higher and higher with the passage of time (if a patent is still valid under the premise of increasing annual fee, it is generally believed that the patent has brought better market benefits to the patentee), and the specific amount is as follows:
900 yuan 1 ~ 3 years, 4 ~ 6 years 1200 yuan, 7 ~ 9 years 2000 yuan,10 ~/2 years 4000 yuan,13 ~/5 years 6000 yuan.
The utility model and design fee 1 ~ 3 years in 600 yuan, 4 ~ 5 years in 900 yuan, 6 ~ 8 years 1200 yuan, 9 ~ 10 years 2000 yuan.
In this way, if you get a patent right in the first year of patent application, for example, if you get a patent certificate, the official fee for invention patent is 4605 yuan, and the official fee for utility model and design is 1305 yuan.
The above official expenses can be saved under certain conditions. The patent law stipulates: "The application fee, substantive examination fee and annual fee can be reduced or exempted within three years from the date of the patent right being granted. If an individual applies for a reduction of 85%, if an entity applies for a reduction of 70%, if two or more individuals apply for a reduction of 70%, if two or more entities apply for a reduction of 70%, the reduction will not be granted. In addition, the review fee for applying for review can also be reduced or exempted. "
Therefore, under the premise of no incidental cost, from applying for a patent to obtaining a patent certificate, if you apply for an invention patent and don't enjoy the cost reduction, you need to pay 4605 yuan; After applying for fee waiver in one's own name, you need to pay 1205 yuan; After applying for fee waiver in the name of the company, you need to pay 1850 yuan; After two or more individuals apply for fee waiver, they need to pay 1850 yuan.
If you apply for utility model and design and do not enjoy fee reduction, you need to pay 1305 yuan. After applying for fee waiver in the name of an individual, you need to pay 575 yuan. After applying for fee reduction in the name of the company, you need to pay 740 yuan. After applying for fee reduction in the name of two or more individuals, you need to pay 740 yuan.
In addition to the official fee, when applying for a patent, what I have to say is the agency fee. Agency fees are used to hire professional patent agents to provide professional services for patent applications. In China, there are more than 1 1000 practicing agents who can provide patent agency services, and more than 1 1000 service agencies who can accept the entrustment of applicants to handle patent agency business.
This part of the cost is still an opaque market in China. The fees charged by various service organizations are different, and the general charging standards in different regions are also different. The fees for applying for different majors will be different. Take the Beijing market as an example. The cost of applying for a patent for invention is generally between 6000 and 20000 yuan, that of utility model is between 4000- 15000 yuan, and that of design is between 1000-3000 yuan.
If the applicant has the professional skills of patent application, he can choose to apply independently, which has the advantage of saving patent agency fees and avoiding the technology being known by others before patent application.
However, most enterprises or individuals do not have such professional skills. The requirement is not only to know the technology, but also to be familiar with the relevant provisions of the patent law. At the same time, they must be able to jump out of the limitations of the existing technology and extract a better protection range for this technology. People who can do it at the same time are scarce.
If it is not properly protected, the patented technology may not only be substantially protected, but also be known to the world for free, providing a good channel for competitors and peers to peek and learn, which is not worth the candle. Therefore, adhering to the principle of "leaving professional matters to professional people", the author strongly suggests that patent application, a highly professional matter, should be left to patent agents.
