Can the branch company pay the annual patent fee to the head office?

Yes Paying the annual patent fee means that the right holder entrusts a patent agency to pay the annual patent fee on schedule, which means that the annual patent fee does not need to be paid by the right holder himself. If you have too many patents to take care of, you can entrust the platform to monitor and pay the annual fee on your behalf, so as to reduce the management risks such as missing and wrong payment of patents.
