How much does the patent application office charge for writing patent application articles?

Generally, applicants need to find a patent agency to help them write documents and complete the whole application process. The agency fee is generally 1500-5000 yuan/item. Two methods are recommended here.

Method 1: I can write my own patent application materials and go through the formalities of fee reduction and exemption. The minimum fee for applying for a patent is utility model 75 yuan, invention patent 185 yuan.

Applicants will give a nominal fee of 400-600 yuan, and they will help. Plus the filing fee, the cost of applying for a patent is only 400-800 yuan.
