How to recover the patent? How to avoid losing the patent right? The patentee may encounter many difficulties when applying for a patent. These difficulties are mainly manifested in that the patentee is not familiar with the patent application process and some problems that need attention, and is prone to mistakes. For example, if a patent forgets to pay the annual fee and fails to register within the specified time after the patent application, the patent will be revoked or invalid; Then how to carry out the patent recovery procedure at the critical moment is very important. How to avoid losing the patent right Generally speaking, when the patent office issues a termination notice, it will give the patentee a reasonable period (2 months) to file an application for restoring the right. If the patentee fails to apply within the time limit, the patent right will eventually be lost; However, the patentee fails to implement it due to force majeure or other legitimate reasons. Needless to say, force majeure is because the patentee has exhausted all possible means and still cannot apply on time. In this case, Joe can apply by mail, so his claim is not established. The termination of the patent right refers to the expiration of the patent protection period or the invalidation of the patent right for some reason. There are mainly the following situations: (1) Failure to pay the annual fee as required; (2) The patentee waives the patent right in writing; (3) When the patent right expires, the patent right will be terminated. As for those who have not paid the annual patent fee, they generally have to pay the late fee for the annual patent fee, which will gradually increase with the passage of time. If the annual patent fee is delayed and not paid on time, the patent will not be restored after missing a certain time; Then the patent will be directly disclosed to the public and used by everyone; The patentee no longer owns the patent right of the patent; The patentee needs to pay the fees carefully; If you really don't have time to pay the patent fee, you can find an agency to help you pay it.
