It's been a year since the patent authorization was notified, and I haven't got the certificate yet. Do I have to pay an annual fee?

Did you pay the fee after your authorization notice was issued? You must pay the authorization registration fee, stamp duty and annual fee for the authorization year.

If you hand it in, you should be able to get the certificate in 2-3 months.

If you didn't get it, it might have been lost.

If you don't pay this money, you should receive a notice to give up the patent right, and then the patent application will be invalid.

Send the application number, and I'll help you check whether the certificate is lost or not authorized.

If the certificate is lost, you need to pay an annual fee, and you can continue to protect it; You can get a register from the local patent agency.

If there is no authorization, then you don't have to pay it, and apply again quickly.
