What are the payment methods and precautions for patent application fees?
I. Date of payment
If I submit the application documents, I can pay the application fee at the same time when I receive the acceptance notice and the application fee payment notice, or I can remit money through the post office or bank. If an application is mailed, the application fee shall be paid after receiving the notice of acceptance and the notice of payment of the application fee. To pay the application fee, you need to specify the corresponding application number. The applicant shall pay the fee within two months from the date of application or within fifteen days from the date of receiving the notification of acceptance.
Second, the mode of payment
The application fee and other fees can be paid directly to the toll office or agency of the Patent Office, or remitted through the bank or post office. At present, banks use electronic transfer and post offices use electronic remittance. When paying patent fees through banks or post offices, the payer shall indicate the correct application number or patent number on the bill of exchange, and the name of the payer may be abbreviated. The payer shall ask the bank or post office staff to enter the above payment information in the remittance attachment column. Remittance through the post office should also require the post office staff to fill in the complete mailing address, including postal code, which will play an important role in the future work. Fees shall not be sent to the Patent Office.
Three. Matters needing attention in paying patent application fee
The payer may pay the patent fee directly to the Patent Office or the agency of the Patent Office. For information about patent agency, please visit www.sipo.gov.cn.
When remitting money, you receive the remittance voucher from the bank or post office, and carefully check its application number or patent number, mailing address and postal code. It will play an important role in future procedures to avoid losing necessary information due to input errors by bank or post office staff.
If the payer fails to explain the necessary information at the time of remittance, he can supplement it by fax or email on the day of remittance. Expired information is invalid.
