Hello, poster!
The state has always provided exemptions for individuals applying for patents. No matter what kind of patent you apply for, the state will reduce the official fee by 75%, which means you only need to pay 15%. However, general patent agency application agencies will not reduce the agency fee.
The operation is relatively simple, especially through an agency, they will take the initiative to help you apply for exemption or reduction.
Although it costs a lot of money to find an agency, this money cannot be saved. Applying for a patent is a professional job, and he has some skills, especially applying for utility and invention patents.
