What is the charging standard for patent agents?

To apply for a patent, in addition to the official fee, you have to say the agency fee. So what is the patent agency fee? Agency fees are mainly used to hire professional patent agents to provide professional services for patent applications. How much is the patent agency fee when applying for a patent? This part of the fee for patent agency application is still an opaque market in China. The fees charged by various service organizations are different, and the general charging standards in different regions are also different. The fees for applying for different majors will be different. Let's take the Beijing market as an example. The cost of applying for a patent for invention is generally between 6000 and 20000 yuan, that of utility model is between 4000- 15000 yuan, and that of design is between 1000-3000 yuan. Of course, if the applicant has the professional skills of patent application, it is excellent, and he can choose to apply independently. This has the advantage of saving patent agency fees and avoiding the technology being known by others before patent application. However, most enterprises or individuals do not have such professional skills. The requirement is not only to know the technology, but also to be familiar with the relevant provisions of the patent law. At the same time, they must be able to jump out of the limitations of the existing technology and extract a better protection range for this technology. People who can do it at the same time are scarce. If it is not properly protected, the patented technology may not only be substantially protected, but also be known to the world for free, providing a good channel for competitors and peers to peek and learn, which is not worth the candle!
