Enterprises should understand the relevant intellectual property protection policies in their daily business activities. At present, China's intellectual property rights have just stepped out of the development period, and there is still a big gap with many developed countries in the world. Some enterprises rely on plagiarism and copying, just like the cottage mobile phone that was very popular in previous years, which undoubtedly caused serious damage to the rights and interests of those enterprises that just started to compete. Therefore, it is very necessary to understand the relevant patent application process. Generally speaking, patent application can be divided into several stages: preparing materials, submitting materials, accepting intellectual property rights, paying fees, preliminary examination, publicity, reexamination and issuing certificates. The process is relatively cumbersome, and if there is no special department operation in general enterprises, the process is still troublesome, which is easy to cause links to be out of touch.
Therefore, for the enterprise patent application process, we will introduce the second method, that is, entrust a professional agent platform to handle it. This has several advantages. First, enterprises do not need to care about relevant policies and processes, and can focus on core business and patent research. One is to be able to adjust quickly according to the policy and get some preferential policies. In the details of some processes, if the enterprise operates by itself, it will be revised back and forth because it is unfamiliar and unprofessional, and may even delay the opportunity. For example, in the material preparation stage, it is necessary to make a written explanation of the patent application, which can not only explain the innovation and practicability of the patent, but also fill in the relevant format. This is still difficult for enterprises, but it is a routine operation for the patent processing platform.
Of course, the principal-agent platform must pay the corresponding fees, just like an invention patent needs a service period of 18 months, and the cost of several thousand yuan is actually quite cost-effective. However, if the enterprise is familiar with the relevant patent application process, it will choose according to its own situation.
