Why is it necessary to pay patent annuity?

As all who visited this web page probably know, patents survive for the period, generally 20 years from the filing date, by paying annuity.
In other words, in order to survive patents, it is necessary to pay patent annuity for each year, which means that you need the payment costs for each year.
On the other hand, once you decide not to survive patents, it expires if the annuity is not paid.

 

Patent annuity payment cost is never better than cheap!

Not only on corporate activities but also in many cases, cost has never been cheaper. You can say same about the cost of patent annuity as well.
Many companies including big name corporations own thousands or ten thousands of patents or more, in not only their own countries but all over the world. So only a little cost merit for a patent is very enough and brings significant cost reduction for all owned patents. Moreover, since the patent annuity service referred by our company is of cheapest price schemes, you can enormously reduce patent annuity costs depending on the number of patents you own.

 

Thus, you can replace the difference between the costs of your previous patent annuities and those by our referral service with the costs related to other strategic or tactical IP matters. If you use the same money as the difference anyway, you should use it for highly valued or value-raised matters. Also, you may stock a part thereof as reserve for emergent or contingent matter.

How foreign exchange risk is hedged? What are the merits of using the service referred by our company?

 

Common risk hedge method for exchange rate

When foreign patent annuity is paid, it is very often proceeded through annuity service provider, including Japanese IP firm, between you and local annuity payer such as a local IP firm or IP attorney.

When foreign patent annuity is paid by such a route, it is often found difference between the exchange rate actually paid to local annuity payer from service provider and that charged to you. Annuity service provider, as risk hedge of exchange rate, prepares an invoice using exchange rate of the amount which about 2 to 6 JPY are added to the actual exchange rate, including TTS, when invoicing to you. For annuity service provider, if the exchange rate indicated in an invoice to you is higher than that actually paid to local payer, it is profit for the service provider. Adversely, if the exchange rate indicated in an invoice to you is lower than that actually paid to local payer, it is loss for the service provider. Such exchange rate system by the added amount as above is often seen for the purpose that annuity service provider avoids and hedges such loss as possible as it can.

Thus, if you are charged the cost of foreign annuity payment, you may pay to annuity service provider at exchange rate higher than the actual exchange rate paid. So the more the patent annuity number is, the more you pay added exchange rate. You are forced to transfer the risk hedge amount for and to annuity service provider.

 

Risk hedge of exchange rate in this service

From the thought that we want to solve the said demerit and doubt of exchange rate for you as much as possible, we provide you with a solution that is to not cause demerits and doubt by transferring money at actual exchange rate, involving TTS, to the Partner from you directly. Furthermore, even though you choose “deposit” of Arrangement Course, since we charge you at TTS at the time of billing deposit, there is no added amount to exchange rate as risk hedge. Also, since we transfer money from the deposit to the Partner and list the actually paid exchange rate in the deposit balance statement, there is no room that added amount as such risk hedge is listed in the balance statement.

From the thought that we want to eliminate risk hedge of exchange rate as much as possible, and we have created the scheme as you pay to the Partner directly.

In addition, it is often seen a kind of item “remittance fee” and the amount in an invoice, but there seems to be annuity service providers that charge added amount to the actual remittance fee. Adversely, we calculate without actually adding the actual remittance fee.
