The patent has an agency. Now the patent is terminated due to the failure to pay the annual fee. Is it necessary for the agency to handle the request to restore power supply? Can you handle it yourself? You can handle it yourself and go through the formalities of reinstatement. You must submit a "Request for Restoration of Rights" and attach relevant certificates. And the restoration fee. If you don't know much about the process and documents, I suggest you find an agency to handle it.
