Q: I want to change the entity's type to micro, since i am an individual, so the maintenance fee would not be high
I have several patent, and the maintenance fee when do you soon ; I want to change the entity type to micro so I can pay $400 tip patent rather than $1600 . Also, my address want to be changed as well. Beside I am not familiar with filling required documents, therefore what could be the range of changing the entity type, the address and pay the maintenance fee per patent.
On the other hand, are their a clear path for commercializing patents?
A: You just need to file a certificate of micro entity status. You can get the form at uspto.gov/forms.
