How much does it cost to apply for a foreign patent?
1. How much does it cost to apply for a foreign patent? The cost of applying for foreign-related patents is: if applying in the United States, the patent application cost is 18000 yuan, and the design cost is 1 1000 yuan. The cost in Britain is the same as that in the United States, but the design cost is 9700 yuan, while that in Japan is 28000 yuan, and the design cost is 16800 yuan. It varies according to the selected country and patent category. In different countries, the fees for different patent types and applications are different. However, it is normal for a country to apply for an invention patent with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of international patents. Second, what are the benefits of enterprises applying for foreign-related patents? 1. seize the market. First of all, patents are not only used to improve the efficiency of enterprises, but also the driving force for their sustainable development. Therefore, patents have become an important force for enterprises to become bigger and stronger, and also an important means to participate in market competition. Therefore, the more patents manufacturers have, the more they can take the lead in the market. 2. Prevent plagiarism/imitation. Secondly, patent is a part of intellectual property and an intangible property, which has the characteristics of exclusiveness, regionality and timeliness. Among them, exclusivity means that if a company or individual uses it to make profits without the permission of the patentee, it is an infringement and can effectively protect the legitimate interests of the patentee. Therefore, the exclusiveness of patent plays a great role in preventing competitors from imitating their own products. 3. Prevent patent litigation disputes. In recent years, overseas enterprises frequently encounter litigation disputes over patents and other intellectual property rights. The reason is that it is a big problem not to apply for an international patent as soon as possible. Therefore, enterprises must improve their awareness of intellectual property protection, whether at home or abroad. There are many advantages for enterprises to apply for foreign-related patents, not just the above points. In recent years, both individuals and enterprises pay more attention to patents than before, so the problems of patent application are more extensive than before. I suggest you consult a professional tripartite organization. Choosing a formal tripartite organization can save time and effort, and also greatly improve the chances of successful foreign-related patents.
