If you want to apply by yourself, the main reason is that it is very expensive to find an agency to help you write the relevant application documents ... at least it is not a small amount for students. If you are interested in the utility model and it is not complicated, you can find a book to write by yourself ... it is a bit difficult and takes some time. The key is that the rights you extract may not be accurate enough to protect yourself. ...
If you are an individual, you can apply for relief, that is, if you have no money, the state can give you a little cheaper. (This should be regarded as a national preferential policy, which is the same everywhere. As for any special discount in Tangshan, I'm afraid you have to consult the local office or government department yourself. ) It only takes 125 to apply for a utility model, maybe more, depending on how many claims you have written. Generally, the price is ten. The invention is less than 1000 yuan, and the application fee mentioned above is to be paid to the state. If the application is successful, you must pay an annual fee to maintain your patent. The annual fee is very small in the first three years, because you are slow, and it will be more than 1 100 in one year, and it will be expensive after three years. With more and more money, it will be 23,000 to the last 8,000 yuan. The above annual fee will also be paid to the state. But you can't write the materials you applied for, so you have to entrust others to write them. The price of utility model is about 1500, and the invention is about 3000, which varies from place to place and from place to place.
In fact, you should entrust a patent agency You'll be relieved to find him. Just give him money. As far as the money I just mentioned is concerned, you may have to pay more for running errands and consulting. Just sit and wait. They can do anything for you! Everything you ask here can actually be consulted. Save trouble!
