How to change the agency in patent application? What is patent registration?
After the examiner makes the decision to grant the patent right, the patent administrative department of the State Council issues a notice of granting the patent right to the applicant, and at the same time issues a notice of handling the patent registration formalities. Patent registration is an essential procedure in the authorization procedure. The contents of this notice are as follows: (1) The applicant shall go through the patent registration formalities within 2 months from the date of receiving this notice and pay the following fees as required. Patent registration fee (including patent document printing fee 40 yuan): 200 yuan for invention patent, 150 yuan for utility model and design patent; Authorized annual fee for the current year; Stamp duty of patent certificate in 5 yuan. (2) Clearly inform the applicant that the expiration date of three months from the date of issuance of these two notices is the authorization decision date, the patent certificate issuance date and the patent right effective date, which is also the registration date in the patent register. (3) If the applicant fails to pay the above fees on time and complete the registration formalities, it shall be deemed as giving up the right to obtain the patent right, that is, the authorized registration cannot be carried out. This shows the importance of patent registration, in other words, a patent application can only be granted a patent right after the applicant pays all the fees on time and goes through the registration formalities.
