1. Electronic application users can log on to the electronic application network and pay patent fees through online payment.
2. You can also pay the patent fee directly to the Patent Office or its agency.
In addition, the patent fee can be remitted through the bank or post office. When remitting patent fees through banks or post offices, the correct application number (or patent number) and fee name (or abbreviation) shall be stated in the postscript column of the remittance slip.
Second, the late fee for annual patent fees.
After the patent application is authorized, the patent applicant shall pay the annual fee of the year when the patent is granted in addition to the patent registration fee. The annual fee for subsequent years shall be paid in advance within one month before the expiration of the previous year. If it fails to pay within the specified time or the amount paid is insufficient, it can be paid within 6 months from the date of expiration of the annual fee, and at the same time pay the corresponding amount of late fees, otherwise the patent right will be lost!
The specific calculation method for paying late fees is as follows:
If the term of 1. exceeds 1 day to 1 month (including 1 whole month), only the annual fee is required, and no late payment fee is required;
2. If the overdue payment exceeds 1 month to 2 months (including 2 whole months), the amount of overdue payment shall be 5% of the full annual fee;
3. If the overdue period is more than 2 months to 3 months (including 3 whole months), the amount of overdue fine to be paid is10% of the total annual fee;
4. If the overdue period is more than 3 months to 4 months (including 4 whole months), the amount of overdue fine to be paid is 65438+ 05% of the annual fee;
5 overdue for more than 4 months to 5 months (including 5 whole months), the amount of overdue payment shall be 20% of the annual expenses;
6 overdue for more than 5 months to 6 months (including 6 whole months), the amount of overdue fine payable is 25% of the annual expenses.
