Patent affairs service (the original public service of patent examination process) is that the patent office is open to the public in accordance with the provisions of the Patent Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) (hereinafter referred to as the Patent Law), the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) (hereinafter referred to as the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law) and the Patent Examination Guide (2010), based on information such as documents, deadlines, fees, approval process and legal status in the whole patent examination process. The scope of patent affairs service includes not only the whole patent examination and approval process from application to authorization, but also the maintenance and application of the patent right after authorization, and even various legal procedures and affairs after the patent expires.
According to Announcement No.244 issued by China National Intellectual Property Administration, since July 1, 2017, China National Intellectual Property Administration has implemented new administrative fees. Among them, the new patent document copy certification fee, each 30 yuan.
Collect the patent document copy certification fee for the following nine kinds of patent document copies or certification documents:
(1) a copy of the patent register; (2) Proof of the legal status of batch patents; (3) A copy of the earlier application documents; (4) A copy of the patent authorization document; (5) a copy of the patent certificate; (6) patent certificate; (7) Proof of patent authorization procedure; (8) Certificate of change of the applicant’s name; (9) Proof of consulting and copying patent documents.
Matters needing attention of the requester in handling business:
1, the name of the payment for the certificate or copy of the document is "patent document copy certificate fee".
2. When handling the above business, the requester should pay the fee first, and then make a request for handling.
Note: (1) No matter how you submit the request, you can generally enter the business system within three working days at the earliest; (2) Payment of fees, except for online banking, it usually takes three to seven working days or even longer for fees to enter the system through windows or mail; (3) It takes five to ten working days to issue copies of documents and supporting documents, and the starting point of the issuing time is that the request and expenses are qualified; Therefore, if the requester has time to consider the business, he needs to pay attention to the payment of the fee and the submission time of the request at the same time.
3. When paying fees, except for the patent application number or patent number of the relevant supporting documents or copies of documents, the name of the "payer" who issued the receipt should be as consistent as possible with the name of the "requester" filled in the document copy or supporting documents request.
Note: Due to the copies of relevant documents or supporting documents, many people will handle related business with the same patent number. The name of payer and the name of requester are one of the important bases for the business system to judge the corresponding relationship between "paid fees" and "submitted requests" at this stage (before system optimization), and the requester must pay great attention to it when handling business.
4. When handling the legal status certificate of batch patent, the first number in the batch patent application number or patent number list should be filled in when paying the fee.
Note: There are two kinds of batch patent legal status certificates: one is "batch patent legal status certificate", and the documents issued by this certificate only contain the authorized patents; The other is "batch patent, application for legal status certificate", which includes authorized patents and unauthorized patents, and only the patentee or applicant can request it.
5. When handling the business of "patent document consulting and copying certificate", only the patent office is requested to issue electronic parts, and no charge is charged.
6, through the mail or window to handle the request business, should use three new forms of patent affairs service.
From July 1, 2017, three new forms will be enabled, including patent document copy request, patent certification document request and patent document query copy request.
