(1) is the same in the review process, authorization time and application difficulty.
(2) If the patent is in the name of the enterprise, it will be more convenient to identify the high-tech enterprise. Of course, some enterprises will apply for patents in the name of enterprises based on publicity considerations.
(3) On September 1 day, 2006, the new "Measures for Reduction and Payment of Patent Fees" was formally implemented, so it was different from the previous ones. The current situation is as follows:
There is only one patent applicant (either an individual or an enterprise), and only 15% (equivalent to 8.5% discount) of the total application fee, actual examination fee, annual fee (6 years) and reexamination fee is required.
If there are two or more applicants, they only need to pay 30% of the application fee, actual examination fee, annual fee (6 years) and review fee (equivalent to 30% discount).
As can be seen from the above, if the applicant is one, after the reduction and exemption, the fees that individuals and enterprises need to pay are the same (provided that both meet the conditions for reduction and exemption).
