1、 Applicant Does the ability to record fee reductions in Chinese tax reports qualify as a micro entity?

Answer:The tax report is only for auxiliary reference, and it is more important to verify the actual operating income of the applicant, as there is a risk of false reporting in tax declaration. It should be noted that if the applicant has affiliated stores on e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba, Amazon, eBay, etc., even if these revenues are not declared in the report, the actual sales revenue generated must be included in the total revenue assessment. These e-commerce platforms will keep detailed transaction records, which can easily verify past sales data. If it is confirmed that there is none, then refer to the operating income data in the first line of the tax report. If it exceeds $223740 (the income is expected to be updated by the Patent Office in September each year, and the difference is not significant), even if China can make fee reductions, it does not meet the criteria for micro entity recognition. (Because the income exceeds).

IIHow is income regulated?

Answer:The following is the income range specified by the US Patent Office, which changes every year. Specifically, it can be seen that the Patent Office updates it once in mid September each year,For example, now it is2025.08.19In order to register a patent, the customer needs to provide the following information:January 2024 December 2024Monthly data, so income should be calculated based on the amount enclosed

3、 What proof is required for applicants/inventors over 60 years old who have no social security or salary, and are micro entities? Is there no personal income tax declaration record? Then what should we do?

Answer:If not available, a statement needs to be signed and we will provide it. But there is a problem. The inventor suggests being truthful and not using the ID cards of unfamiliar or very old people to register in order to avoid being discovered by others. This may result in the patent being invalidated if it is discovered later. (This contains deliberate evasion of micro entities and the use of false inventors)

Lawyer's requirement: It is common to encounter fictitious inventors, so it is necessary to verify whether the inventors truly exist.

4How to confirm the applicant's income through the deposit base if social security details are provided? What is the significance of the applicant providing social security details?

Answer:According to the latest policy, there is no need to provide social security details now, only a personal income tax certificate is required.
