不請律師-自己申請專利(7): 再答關於費用的問題

有朋友對“不請律師-自己申請專利(6)”提出問題:

你所列出的ABC每項費用都要繳納嗎？還是在ABC各項裏隻選一項就可以了？

愛恨專利的答複:

隻選一項. For example, if you want to file a non-provisional utility patent application on paper, the minimum fee would be the basic fee plus the search fee plus the examination fee. Assuming that you are a small entity (i.e. not an industry giant), the fee would be 165 + 270 + 110 = 545 (USD). Please be aware that the patent office may charge you extra fees if your application size is too big and/or you have too many claims. For details, please dig into the Fee Transmittal Form in my 不請律師-自己申請專利(3): 自己的秘書自己幹(僅指備齊文件，嚴禁其它理解). Hope this helps.
