The cost and process of applying for patent in schools.

Some universities have their own patent agents and patent offices. Patents applied by schools are divided into service inventions and non-service inventions. Inventions that do not use school resources belong to non-service inventions. The expenses are as follows: invention patent: application fee 900, printing fee 50, actual examination fee 2500, patent registration, printing fee 255, annual fee 900. Utility model and design: the application fee is 600 yuan, the patent registration, printing fee and stamp duty are 205 yuan, and the annual fee is 600 yuan when the patent is about to be granted. Among the above fees, if the application for fee reduction and exemption and the fee reduction certificate are submitted in the application, the application fee, the actual examination fee and the annual fee can be reduced or exempted (only 30% for the unit and 15% for the individual). Other official expenses that may be required, such as priority claim fee, claim surcharge and instruction surcharge, are generally not required. If necessary, you can check it on China National Intellectual Property Administration's website. PS: If you apply for a patent with an agency, the agency fee of each agency is different. You can talk to the agent yourself. You can look for local qualified patent agencies in the "Agent Search" section of China National Intellectual Property Administration website, and beware of black agents.
