If one of the five pieces of information, such as payment date, payment amount, fee name, receipt number or application number, is wrong due to the mistake of the agency, it shall be corrected in time.
(2) Acting for correction
After bookkeeping, it is found that the payment amount (underpaid) and receipt number are wrong, and the charging data and receipt are not forwarded to the patent office, which can be corrected by the agency itself before transmission. If the payment date, fee name and application number are wrong, the agency cannot correct them by itself.
If the payment date, fee name and application number are wrong, you should fill in the "agent transmission data modification report" and attach the original to the accounting voucher.
(3) Correction of patent office fees
If the above-mentioned errors are found after data transmission in the toll office of the Patent Office, but they have not been transmitted to the CPMS database, the agency shall fax the completed Report on Modification of Data Transmission of the Agency to the toll office of the Patent Office for modification. The report shall specify the contents that need to be corrected, and shall be signed by the person in charge of the dispatched office, and shall be accompanied by proof materials that it is indeed the work error of the dispatched office.
(four) the amount of the receipt is less than or more than the corrected amount.
If it is found that the receipt is underpaid, volumes of the same nature (Bank Remittance Volume A, Post Office Remittance Volume B and Face-to-Face Payment Volume M) should be established immediately, and the receipt should be reissued after the machine keeps an account, with the correction report and supporting materials attached.
If it is found that the receipt is overpaid, the agency shall immediately forward the error correction report and supporting materials to the toll office of the Patent Office, which will promptly correct it and issue a payment receipt. The second copy of the receipt is sent to the payer, and the third copy is made (the original is kept by the toll office of the Patent Office, and the copy is sent to the agency after being signed and sealed). The agency bookkeeping institution shall keep a copy and write off the account in the corresponding subject.
(five) the preliminary examination of the patent office and the correction of the process management department.
If the above errors are found after bookkeeping, and the data has been transferred to CPMS database by the charging office of the Patent Office, the agency shall fill in the Report on the Request for Correction of Errors by the Agency (the application number errors shall be filled in duplicate according to the correct and wrong application numbers respectively) and send it to the charging office of the Patent Office for review and handling. The correction report shall be accompanied by proof that it is indeed a mistake in the work of the agency, and shall be corrected after the preliminary examination of the Patent Office and the approval of the leaders of the Process Management Department.
