Recently, the relevant meeting decided to further reduce the fees charged by enterprises and reduce the cost of the real economy. It is explicitly mentioned that starting from 20 18 August 1, fees such as patent registration fees will be stopped and the period of patent annual fee reduction and exemption will be extended. Tips8 From August 1 day, the industrial and commercial bureau stopped collecting patent registration fees and other fees for special applicants for utility models. Enterprises (or individuals) that intend to apply for a patent but are not in such a hurry may wish to wait for a few more months, and then they can save a lot of money! Recently, the relevant meeting decided to further reduce the fees charged by enterprises and reduce the cost of the real economy. It is explicitly mentioned that starting from 20 18 August 1, fees such as patent registration fees will be stopped and the period of patent annual fee reduction and exemption will be extended. So how is the patent registration fee levied? How much money can you save by waiting for these months? The current patent registration fee in China is as follows: You may say that the registration fee for utility model patents and design patents is only 150 yuan, and even the registration fee for the invention patents with the highest gold content is only 200 yuan. It's not worthwhile to stay for a few months for this 200 yuan. Don't worry, didn't you also say that you want to "extend the period of patent annual fee reduction"? China's current patent annual fee charging standards are as follows: that's quite a lot, and the highest annual fee has reached 8000. The current regulations of the Intellectual Property Office on the reduction and exemption of patent annual fee are that patent applicants who meet one of the following conditions can reduce and exempt the patent annual fee for the first six years: individuals whose average monthly income in the previous year was less than 3,500 yuan (42,000 yuan a year); Enterprises with taxable income of less than 300,000 yuan in the previous year; Applicants are institutions, social organizations and non-profit scientific research institutions. In this way, the annual fee of a patent for the first six years from the date of patent grant =900*3+ 1200*3=6300 yuan. If the annual patent fee reduction period is extended to 9 years after August 1, you can save 6,000 yuan in addition to this 6,300 yuan. If the reduction period of patent annual fee is extended to 1 2 years after August of1year, then the annual fee you can save besides 6300 yuan is 18000 yuan. If the reduction period is upward, it will save more, but it is estimated that the annual patent fee reduction period will not be suddenly extended to more than 12 years. But anyway, even if it's 18000, even if it's 6000, it's worth waiting for a few more months if the patent you intend to apply for is not very urgent. What's more, the above statement is that "patent registration fees and other fees" will stop after August 1. Although this "such fee" is not clear at present, I believe that the website of the Intellectual Property Office will publish relevant announcements soon. Finally, in order to understand the scope of the "equal fee", let's take a look at the current patent full fee standard in China. Look, the cost of patent is still so much. The so-called white is silver, and the black is eyeball. There are so many people applying for patents every day that many enterprises will apply for several or even dozens of patents at the same time, which will cost a lot of money. In addition, if someone applies for a patent, there will be an agency fee. The following is the fee for the agency to apply for a patent on its behalf. For your reference, see what level it is. These fees include the first official fee of the patent, so the agency fee is actually not much, but for the patent applicant, spending a little here and spending a little there will cost the final fee. So again, starting from August 1, the Intellectual Property Office will stop charging patent registration fees and other fees. Enterprises (or individuals) who intend to apply for a patent but are not in such a hurry may wish to wait for a few more months, and then they can save a sum of money!
