Patent participation fee

if you haven't heard of the participation fee, don't trust those seemingly official notices easily.

After applying for a patent, you will receive an acceptance notice from the Patent Office, and the applicant only needs to pay the patent application fee according to the requirements of the acceptance notice (if I remember correctly, 95 yuan =9 application fee +5 publication and printing fee for inventions, and both utility models and designs are from 5 yuan).

if you receive a notice of doubt, you'd better ask an acquaintance to help you confirm it first, or call the patent office to check it. Don't be fooled.
