According to the Notice of the Ministry of Finance of the National Development and Reform Commission on Reducing Housing Transfer Fees and Accepting Trademark Registration Fees (Development and Reform Price [20 1 5] No.2136), the time limit for annual fee reduction of patent fees is extended from 20 16 to1,which is in line with the patent fee reduction. Timely and accurate payment of the annual patent fee for the patentee is now explained as follows: 1. If the patent is granted within 20 16 1 day/3 years, and the fee reduction request has been approved by the patent office, the annual fee will be automatically reduced in the 4-6 years without going through the fee reduction request procedure again; 2. If the patent is granted on 20 16 1 day in the 4th to 5th year, and the request for fee reduction has been approved by the Patent Office, the annual fee will be automatically reduced from the following year to the 6th year, and there is no need to go through the formalities for fee reduction request again; 3. If the patent is in the sixth year from the year authorized on 20 16 1 day, the annual fee for the fourth to sixth years shall be paid in full. 1. How to pay the application fee and other fees can be paid directly to the toll office of the Patent Office or the agency of the Patent Office, or remitted by bank or post office.

The payer shall ask the bank or post office staff to enter the above payment information in the remittance postscript column. If you remit money through the post office, you should also ask the post office staff to enter the complete mailing address, including the postal code, which will play an important role in future procedures. Fees shall not be sent to the Patent Office. 2. When paying the application fee, if you submit the application documents in person, you can pay the application fee on the spot after obtaining the acceptance notice and the application fee payment notice, or you can remit money through the post office or bank. If an application is submitted by mail, the application fee shall be paid after receiving the notice of acceptance and the notice of payment of the application fee. To pay the application fee, the corresponding application number shall be indicated, and the applicant shall pay it within two months from the date of application or within 15 days from the date of receiving the acceptance notice. 3.
