Hello, I want to ask if there is only a notice of acceptance before the substantive examination fee is paid, and there will be a patent certificate after the payment, right? thank you

Before paying the substantive examination fee, you will receive all kinds of notices except the admission notice. If you don't pay the substantive examination fee, you won't get the certificate. After paying the substantive examination fee, the authorization conditions must be met before authorization can be obtained. After authorization, you can get the license by paying the fee according to the regulations. The specific process and precautions are as follows:

1. Before paying the substantive examination fee, in addition to the acceptance notice, you will also receive the notice of preliminary examination of the invention patent application. After the patent application documents are published, you will also receive the published application documents.

2. If the three-year period from the application date is approaching and the substantive examination fee has not been proposed and paid, you will receive a notice before the expiration of the period (informing you that you should propose the actual examination and pay the actual examination fee). If no actual examination has been filed or the actual examination fee has not been paid for three years, the patent application will be received as a notice of withdrawal.

3. If a request for substantive examination is made within three years from the date of application and the actual examination fee is paid, the Patent Office will begin to enter the substantive examination procedure.

A, after the actual trial, meet the authorization conditions, and received two patent authorization notice and registration procedures. If it pays the fee according to the registration notice, it will get a certificate. If you don't pay the fee according to the registration notice, you will receive a notice to abandon the patent right.

B. If the actual trial fails to meet the authorization conditions, you will receive the notice of the first review opinion.

If the reply to the review opinion does not meet the authorization conditions, you can receive the notice of the second review opinion or directly receive the notice of rejection.

Those who meet the authorization conditions after replying to the review opinions will receive two notices of patent authorization and registration procedures. If you pay the fee according to the regulations, you will get a certificate.
