Important Notice Regarding the "Patent Document COD Scam"
Release Time:
2020-01-19
Recently, our bureau received feedback from the public that many companies and patent agencies received a COD (Cash On Delivery) express mail from "Nanshan District Nanshan Street Intellectual Property Service Center, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province", with the name "Patent Certificate", and the COD amount was 25 or 30 yuan. The content of the mail was a tampered official notice from the State Intellectual Property Office. This express mail is unrelated to the Patent Office of the State Intellectual Property Office. All official documents from the Patent Office of the State Intellectual Property Office are sent via registered mail with prepaid postage, and have never been sent via express delivery with COD. Please inform the public of the above situation. If a similar situation occurs, please contact us immediately.
