Patent application fee details

1. Expense category 1. Application fee The application fee shall be paid within two months from the date of application. The fees paid at the same time as the application fee also include the publication and printing fee of the application for a patent for invention and the application surcharge. Where the priority is claimed, the priority claim fee shall be paid at the same time. If it is not paid or paid in full within the prescribed time limit, the patent application shall be deemed to have been withdrawn. When the number of pages in the description (including drawings) exceeds 30 pages or the number of claims exceeds 10, an application surcharge shall be paid, and the amount shall be calculated according to the number of pages or items exceeded. The amount of priority claim fee is calculated according to the number of items claiming priority. Failing to pay or pay in full within the prescribed time limit shall be deemed as not claiming priority. 2. Substantive examination fee for an application for a patent for invention Where the applicant requests substantive examination, he shall submit a request for substantive examination and pay the substantive examination fee. The time limit for paying the substantive examination fee is three years from the date of application (if there is a priority requirement, from the earliest priority date). If it is not paid or paid in full within the prescribed time limit, the patent application shall be deemed to have been withdrawn. 3. Slow down the patent fee If it is really difficult for the applicant or patentee to pay the patent fee, he may request a slowdown. There are five kinds of fees that can be reduced or exempted: application fee (printing fee and surcharge are not reduced), examination fee for invention patent application, reexamination fee, maintenance fee for invention patent application, and annual fee for three years from the year when the patent right is granted. Other expenses will not be delayed. Where a patent fee is requested to be reduced or exempted, it shall submit a request for fee reduction and exemption, truthfully fill in the economic income status, and attach relevant supporting documents when necessary. 2.
