The documents required to apply for a patent in China are the same, regardless of the region:
1. The materials required for a natural person to apply for patent registration are a copy of the natural person's ID card, filling in the patent application, and writing the abstract of the patent specification, the patent claim and the specification.
2. After the patent application is authorized, you need to pay an annual fee. If you continue to protect, you need to pay an annual fee.
3. Service life of patents: the longest protection period of design and utility model patents is 10 year, and the longest protection period of invention patents is 20 years.
If you pay the annual fee on time after the patent is granted, it will not be revoked without special reasons.
5. The cost of entrusting a patent application company to apply for a common patent is different. In addition to the fees charged by the State Patent Office, the agency fees can be negotiated. The normal charge is about 1 1,000 yuan for design and 2,000 yuan for utility model and invention, which can be negotiated.
If you apply in the name of the company, you need a copy of the company's business license and build an official seal. Other procedures are the same as natural persons.
