If remittance is made by post office or bank, the correct application number or patent number and the name of the fee paid shall be indicated on the remittance slip sent to the patent administration department in the State Council. If it does not conform to the provisions of this paragraph, it shall be deemed that it has not gone through the payment formalities. If the fee is paid directly to the patent administrative department of the State Council, the payment date shall be the payment date; If payment is made by post office remittance, the postmark date of post office remittance shall be the payment date; If payment is made by bank remittance, the actual remittance date of the bank shall be the payment date.

" And Article 95: "The applicant shall pay the application fee, publication and printing fee and necessary application surcharge within 2 months from the date of application or within/0/5 days from the date of receiving the acceptance notice; If it fails to pay or pay in full at the expiration of the time limit, its application shall be deemed to be withdrawn.

" Two. Pay attention 1. If remittance is made by post office or bank, the correct application number or patent number and fee name shall be filled in the postscript column or remittance purpose column of the remittance slip. The correct application number or patent number should be 9 digits (patents filed before 10 in 2003) or 13 digits (patents filed after 10 in 2003), and the decimal point before the last check digit can be omitted. For example, the 9-digit application number can be written as 99 10xxxxx.2 or 9910xxxxx2; The application number of 13 can be written as 2005 10 xxxxx. 1 or 200510xxxxx1.

When paying the patent fee through the bank or post office, the payer shall indicate the correct application number or patent number and the name (or abbreviation) of the payer on the remittance slip.

This information will play an important role in future programs. Fees shall not be sent to the Patent Office. 3. For remittance by bank or post office, if fax is needed, a copy of the remittance slip, application number or patent number, fee name, detailed amount, postal code, address and payee information should be sent to the toll collection office on the day of remittance.
