I don't want to go through a patent agency. Can I apply to the State Patent Office myself?

You can apply for a patent to the State Patent Office yourself.

There are two ways to apply for a patent:

1. Individuals directly apply for a patent in China National Intellectual Property Administration or send application documents by registered mail (patent application documents include: request, patent right, specification, appended drawings of specification, abstract of specification and appended drawings of abstract).

The second is to entrust a patent agent to apply for a patent. In this way, the quality of patent application is high, and the delay of examination and authorization due to the quality problem of application document writing can be avoided.
