Is it illegal for an agency to apply for patent reimbursement with a low-guarantee agent?

According to the policies and regulations I know, it is generally legal for an agency to apply for patent reimbursement. According to Article 43 of the Patent Law, the applicant may entrust a patent agency to handle patent applications or other related matters. Therefore, it is legal for an agency to apply for a patent for the applicant and reimburse it.

However, it should be noted that agents should abide by the Measures for the Administration of Patent Agents and other relevant laws and regulations to ensure the legitimacy and compliance of the agency process. In addition, the reimbursement of patent applications should conform to the reimbursement standards and procedures of patent fees, as detailed in relevant policies and regulations.

It should be noted that although the agency can help applicants apply for patents and reimburse related expenses, it cannot guarantee the successful acquisition of patents. Patent examination and approval should ultimately be based on the provisions of laws and regulations and the examination and approval results of the Patent Office.

If you need to know more detailed regulations and procedures, it is recommended that you consult professional organizations or refer to relevant policies and regulations. In a word, it is legal for an agency to apply for a patent and reimburse it under formal and legal circumstances.
