What is the patent licensing fee in Britain?
What is the patent licensing fee in Britain? Judging from the current situation, Britain does not charge any license fees for patents. However, if the number of pages of claims and instructions in some applications increases during the review period, and the number of pages of claims and instructions reaches the charging standard, then when the application is authorized, the applicant still needs to pay the corresponding extra fees for these pages of claims and instructions. The patent fee of UK 1 and the application and retrieval fee of UKIPO will increase the existing application and retrieval fee to 60 and 150 respectively. In addition, if the applicant chooses to pay the application fee after the application date, he will have to pay an additional fee of 25%. In addition, a more important change is that UKIPO will levy fees on excessive claims and require applicants to pay the above fees together with the search fees. 2. Review fee and fee charged for instructions with excessive pages UKIPO will increase the review fee and charge a new fee for instructions with excessive pages. The above measures will affect the application for submitting the review request from April 6, 20 18. Specifically, the examination fee is increased by 20 (for electronic applications, the examination fee reaches 100). As far as the fees charged are concerned, if the manual exceeds 35 pages, UKIPO will charge 65,438+00 for each page that exceeds it. The above fees should be paid together with the examination fee. 3. Renewal fee The patent renewal fee will increase by 65,438+00 from 65,438+02. However, according to the corresponding transitional regulations, if the renewal fee is paid before April 6, 20 18, even if the fee is used to pay the annual fee incurred after April 6, 20 18, the lower rate before this adjustment can still be selected. 1. What does the patent authorization time mean? Patent authorization time refers to the time when the patent administrative department grants the applicant the patent right, which directly affects the time when the patent right takes effect. Article 39 of the Patent Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * If the application for a patent for invention is not found to be rejected after substantive examination, the patent administration department of the State Council shall make a decision to grant the patent right for invention, issue a patent certificate for invention, and register and announce it at the same time. The invention patent right shall take effect as of the date of announcement. Article 40 If the application for a patent for utility model or design is not found to be rejected after preliminary examination, the administrative department for patent in the State Council shall make a decision to grant the patent right for utility model or design, issue the corresponding patent certificate, and register and announce it at the same time. The patent right for utility model and the patent right for design shall take effect as of the date of announcement. Article 42 The term of patent right for invention is 20 years, and the term of patent right for utility model and patent right for design is 10 years, counting from the date of application. 2. What are the conditions for obtaining a patent right? If the applicant does not file an application with the China National Intellectual Property Administration Patent Office, no matter how important the invention is, no patent right can be granted. The first condition for obtaining a patent right is that the applicant files a patent application with the China National Intellectual Property Administration Patent Office for his invention-creation, that is, if the invention-creation enterprise or individual does not file an application, his invention-creation will not be protected by the patent law and will not be able to obtain a patent right. When filing a patent application, the applicant for a patent needs to have a deep understanding of the substantive and procedural provisions of the relevant laws on authorization, and has considerable experience in patent application. Generally, entrusting a patent application to a professional patent agency can greatly improve the authorization rate, save the time and expenses of the patent applicant and help the patent applicant obtain a suitable patent right; There are many factors that affect the patent right in the process of examination, among which the difference of the examiner's personal examination level will also affect the patent right. Patent examination combines independent examination with examination quality control, but the examination level and subjectivity of different examiners are quite different, which may have an impact on patent rights. The second condition for obtaining a patent right is that, after receiving the applicant's patent application, China National Intellectual Property Administration Patent Office will examine the invention-creation it applied for according to relevant laws. In line with the relevant laws and regulations, the applicant is granted a patent right, that is, only the patent application that meets the statutory conditions can be granted a patent right. In the above process, there are many factors that affect the patent right. The patent application must meet the format and content requirements of the patent application documents stipulated by patent laws and regulations, and perform various procedures. The most important thing is that the essence of the invention-creation for which a patent is applied has the substantive conditions for granting a patent right stipulated by law. There is no relevant regulation on the fee of patent authorization in Britain, but when using patents, both parties need to negotiate. The fee for this authorization is mainly decided by the patentee, so the fee for renewal is also settled through consultation with the patentee.
