Next, talk about the protection of patent rights. The protection function of patent right is a collection of patent protection functions: patent can protect the sales share of enterprise products in the market. Patent refers to exclusive interests and rights, which are unique. If competitors sell their patented products in the same market, the patentee has the right to ask the competitors to stop selling and compensate the losses caused by the competitors selling their patented products. The patentee can also bring a lawsuit to the court or request the patent management authority to deal with the infringement of his patent right by competitors, thus protecting the market share of the product. Of course, you can also choose to settle the patent infringement dispute by conciliation. The second protection function of patent right is to use patent to trade technology and realize enterprise profits. Patent is a special commodity, which can also be freely transferred and traded. By signing a patent transfer contract or patent licensing contract with others, the patentee transfers the patent to others, or permits others to use the patent to obtain the intended assignee. The protection function of patent right 3: having a legal monopoly on the developed technology. If a new technology is likely to be used and traded, enterprises hope to benefit from it in the future. But for some reason, if you don't want to implement a new technology, but expect it to be implemented in the future and don't want others to use it at the same time, you can apply for a patent for the technology, and during the patent protection period, you can use the exclusive right granted by the patent right to prevent the use of the patent without its permission at any time, thus forming a legal monopoly on the technology it develops. The protection function of patent right 4: improve the bargaining chip of enterprise financing and help enterprises obtain financing quickly. In the process of starting a business, there are many teams working on the same project with you.
