I have an invention and want to apply for a patent, but I can't find an agent. What should I do?
It doesn't cost much to apply. The initial application is 175 yuan, and you can get the application number. After passing the preliminary examination, you have to pay a substantive examination fee of 375 yuan before you can get the certificate. But remember to submit an application for fee reduction when applying. These expenses can also be subsidized by the relevant departments of the local government, and individuals basically don't spend money. Because of the complicated procedures, it is recommended to find an agent.
