What should I do if the annual fee receipt of patent fee is changed from an individual to a company? Too many patent late fees have been paid. Can I apply for a refund?

First of all, the first question, if the payment is made by bank remittance, the invoice issued by the patent office can only be written in the name of the corresponding account. If the invoice needs to be written to the company, there are four ways to operate 1, remit money from the company's enterprise account, 2, pay in person at the patent office or its agency, 3, remit the postal address remittance slip, and 4, pay through the patent electronic application network. You can't change the invoice header after payment, you can only pay again and apply for a refund of the previous fee. If you pay less than 500 yuan's patent fee, the company can enter the account without issuing an invoice.

The second question, overpayment and wrong payment can be refunded. If the patent is applied by an entrusted agency, you can directly provide the payment invoice or remittance voucher to the agency so that the agency can apply for a refund.

The third question is that the invoice header cannot be modified.
