| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the register extract, record whether the patent is a standard patent or an innovation patent, the filing date the page uses for the anniversary, the anniversary that is due, and whether payment is online or by another method. If the patent is a divisional, record the parent filing date. Do not calculate a fee and do not file the renewal. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer checks the anniversary against the register, decides which fee on the current office page applies, and pays it. A renewal fee is not an extension of the term of a pharmaceutical patent. The lawyer keeps those steps separate. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From the register extract, record whether the patent is a standard patent or an innovation patent, the filing date the page uses for the anniversary, the anniversary that is due, and whether payment is online or by another method. If the patent is a divisional, record the parent filing date. Do not calculate a fee and do not file the renewal.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks the anniversary against the register, decides which fee on the current office page applies, and pays it. A renewal fee is not an extension of the term of a pharmaceutical patent. The lawyer keeps those steps separate.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check whether the register shows a standard patent or an innovation patent, and use that row of the fee table.
2. For a divisional standard patent, confirm the anniversary runs from the parent filing date, which is what the page says.
3. Confirm a 20th or later anniversary fee is used only where the page limits that fee to a pharmaceutical patent.
4. Confirm the renewal is not described as an extension of term.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
