The annual fee shall be paid before the annual deadline of the following year, and the annual fee for patents shall be paid in February of each year. Of course, you can pay in advance. If the payment is delayed for less than one month, it will still be paid according to the original fee. Overdue for more than one month, a monthly fine for delaying payment.
