The annual fee for the year when the patent right is granted shall be paid within the time limit specified in the notice of granting the patent right issued by the Patent Office, and the annual fees for subsequent years shall be paid in advance within one month before the expiration of the previous year. (The three expenses in each column are: full annual fee, individual payment after deferment, and unit payment after deferment).
Annual fee for utility model:
1-3 years 600 90 180
4-5 years 900 135 270
6-8 years old 1200 180 360
9- 10 2000 300 600
The patentee has to pay a certain fee every year from the year when the patent is granted to the expiration of the patent protection period, which is the annual fee. Accurate payment of annual fee is the premise of maintaining the validity of patent right. If the patentee fails to pay the annual fee on time or in full within the prescribed time limit, it may make a supplementary payment within 6 months from the date of the expiration of the annual fee, and pay a corresponding amount of late fees. If the payment time exceeds the prescribed payment time for less than one month, no late payment fee will be charged. If the payment time exceeds one month, 5% of the full annual fee of the current year will be charged as a late fee. For example, if the payment time exceeds the stipulated payment time for two months, the amount of the late payment fee is the standard value of the annual fee multiplied by 10%.
So if the payment period exceeds half a year, the payment can't be recovered now. The technology of the present invention has been the prior art and contributed to the public.
In addition, if you reapply for a patent for the same invention, you can't grant it, because the previous patent has been made public and lacks novelty, so you can't grant it.
At present, the utility model will also be searched for novelty, and it is basically impossible to authorize the same content to be re-applied. It is suggested that some new and improved technologies (big or small) should be added on the basis of the original invention technology, and the possibility of obtaining a new patent certificate for utility model is higher. However, it should be noted that the original patented technology can no longer be protected.
