Now it is college students who want to apply for invention patents. Due to limited funds, he wants to apply for deferred payment. I don't know if I should attach any supporting materials.

If an individual applies for a patent fee to be deferred, he only needs to fill in the request for fee reduction and exemption, and there is no need to prove financial difficulties issued by the patent administration department of the people's government at or above the municipal level.

On the homepage of China National Intellectual Property Administration website, the column of "Office Area, Form Download" has the download of "100008 Cost Reduction Request".

Attention! ! !

The fee waiver request must be submitted to China National Intellectual Property Administration together with the patent application materials, otherwise the application fee will not be waived!

Because there is no application number when submitting the fee waiver request, the "application number or patent number" in the form should not be filled in.

In the column of "reasons for requesting fee waiver", it is indicated that "I am a college student and have no income, so I hereby apply for fee waiver." Do it.
