How long does it usually take to apply for a patent?

Different types of patents take different time to apply. For example, compared with other kinds of patents, the application is the simplest, usually four to five months, but if it is a practical patent, it takes about eight months. If it is an invention patent, the time will be longer, two to three years or even longer.

And according to the different types of patent applications, the fees are different. The difficulty of passing is also different. After passing, you need to pay a fee, which is paid every year.

In China, there are generally two ways to apply for a patent, one is to find an agency, and the other is to handle it personally by an individual or company. Because the cost of applying for a patent is still relatively high, many companies will choose to find an agency to apply, and some larger companies have their own legal departments to handle patent matters, which is the most reassuring.
