How much does a Patent cost in France?
To evaluate the cost of a patent, it is important to distinguish official taxes payable to national and international offices (INPI or EPO) and fees of your counsel.
To prosecute a patent in France, taxes to pay to INPI amount to 546€ in case of electronic filing (556€ in case of another type of filing). It is worth noting that individual, small entities and non-profit organizations benefit 50% off these taxes.
