What are the fees to pay for a patent application to get a notice of patent acceptance?

They all say something wrong. The correct answer is:

If you want to apply on your own:

From the time you apply for a patent to the time you get the Notice of Acceptance, you can pay nothing except your mailing and paper costs. However, after you get the acceptance notice, you must pay the patent application fee within two months from the date of application, the application fee is as follows:

Invention: 185 yuan; utility models; 75 yuan; design: 75 yuan

If you want to find an intermediary:

In addition to the above application fee, you also have to pay the agent's fee accordingly. The cost is about:

Invention: 2500-5000, utility model: 1500-2500, design: 1000-2000

Besides that, for invention, you have to prepare 375 RMB for substantive examination.
