You do not need an agent to apply for a patent.

Applying for a patent is a legal system for protecting intellectual property rights of inventions and creations under market economy conditions.

All inventions and innovations that meet patent conditions should apply for patents as early as possible to obtain national legal protection.

To apply for a patent, you must submit necessary application documents to the National Patent Office in accordance with regulations.

To apply for an invention or utility model patent, a request, description, claims,

summary of the description, necessary drawings and other documents shall be submitted.

To apply for a design patent, you should submit a request and documents such as pictures or photos of the design.

The patent application document can be written by the applicant himself or entrusted to be written by others.

Application documents can be submitted directly to the State Patent Office in person, or sent by registered mail to the State Patent Office.

You can also entrust an agency to handle the application. After receiving the patent application documents that meet the requirements, the National Patent Office will send an acceptance notice to the applicant, which will indicate the patent application date and application number and related matters.

Thereafter, the applicant shall pay relevant fees as required. Payment can be made directly to the Patent Office,

or via post office or bank remittance, or through an agency. (Yanbo Intellectual Property)
