Abstract

The invention discloses an annual fee monitoring method. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) scanning a two-dimensional code on the title page of a patent certificate by a user by using equipment with a code scanning function; (2) extracting patent information from a page or link obtained through scanning the two-dimensional code; (3) querying patent information by using an application number, and displaying the patent information to the user; and (4) every year, in a certain time before the fee payment deadline of the year, reminding the user. According to the annual fee monitoring method, users only need to scan two-dimensional codes on title pages of certificates by using mobile phones or other devices with code scanning functions without other multifarious jobs, all the patent authorization announcement texts can be looked up and downloaded from the State Intellectual Property Office, and the self-applied patents, agented patents and other's patents can be automatically looked up and monitored through simple scanning.

If the patent annual fee is not paid on time, the patent will become invalid and the profit will be lost. At present, most patentees and agencies monitor the payment of patent annual fees after authorization using excel records and manual retrieval one by one, which is a heavy workload and low efficiency. On the one hand, this kind of periodic repetitive work causes waste of human resources. On the other hand, manual monitoring and identification are prone to errors, and proofreading will increase additional costs. The existing patent management system also has many deficiencies in annual fee monitoring and reminders....
