Note1: You and we contract step by step. So, unless you decide to go to the next step, you will not be charged for the next step.
Note2: We translate by mechanical translation the necessary parts of the reference documents that the Chinese government shows to deny the patentability. If you wish for professional translation, you need additional fees.
Note3: When you register your patent, you must pay the annual fee. The amount is the fee of the year of the patent grant. See table 2.
Note4: The cost depends on the number of words and claims in the application. If you let us know your international patent number, we will inform you of the cost of your patent application. If you wish for a utility model, let me know the situation of your invention. We will advise you whether a utility model is suitable and inform the cost. See PCT guide for details.
Note5: If you use a local patent firm in your country, you need the fee for that firm.

Note2: You can pay the multiple years annual fees to the Chinese government in advance.
Note3: We recommend you utilize one company for schedule control and payments in many countries. It can provide services at a reasonable cost using a computer system. Table 2 fees show without schedule control. If you want to let us control the schedule, we will contract separately for that.
