10.1 What should I do to obtain the patent right after the approval decision for my application is served?

Font Size:

You should pay the certificate fee and the first-year patent annual fee within 3 months after the service of the approval decision. The granted patent will then be published. At the same time, a patent number is attached and a patent certificate will be sent to the applicant. The granted patent shall be effective on the date of publication thereof.

An applicant who unintentionally fails to pay the first-year patent annual fee and the certificate fee within the specified time may pay the patent certificate fee and double the first-year patent annual fee within 6 months after the original time period expires.
