Therefore, we must first decide whether to apply for a patent by ourselves or entrust an agency to apply for a patent.
Of course, no matter which way you apply, you need to know whether your patent is novel and creative enough. If you have full confidence in your technology, it will be easy.
The first one is more troublesome, you need to write your own patent, you need to fill in the information online, and you need to pay for it yourself. Patents are also divided into utility model, invention and appearance, which is very troublesome to study carefully (the second way of filing is behind the old one and needs to be turned over manually). Of course, if you say that I am not afraid of trouble and have the spirit of studying and writing patents, I can naturally choose this way. The following process may be complicated, so I suggest you take your time.
Step 1: Register an electronic account.
Enter official website and China National Intellectual Property Administration, find the label of' China Patent Electronic Application Network', click and log in under the account login column. If you don't have an account, you need to register an electronic account (generally speaking, an individual application must have an electronic account). Fill in the corresponding information according to the prompt, and after filling in the application form correctly, you will be given a notice of approval for the registration of patent electronic users. After returning, log in according to the account number and your password, and you can log in successfully, thus completing the first step.
Step 2: Install related plug-ins.
Prepare the CPC client plug-in, return to the webpage of China Patent Electronic Application Network, find the tool to download, click in, find the PCP client offline upgrade package and download it.
Step 3: Prepare the application documents.
Personal application needs to prepare patent documents, and there is no need to find someone to write this format template. Five books are also needed, whose function is to convert patent documents into five modules: abstract, abstract drawings, patent claims, specification and specification drawings.
Step 4: Submit the application documents.
Open the CPC software, select the appropriate patent application type, select files from five books on the desktop, add five files in five books, namely abstract, appended drawings of abstract, patent claim, specification and appended drawings of specification, and then fill in the patent request in CPC, and you can submit it as required.
Step 5: Accept and pay.
After receiving your patent application, if it meets the requirements, China National Intellectual Property Administration will send you an acceptance notice (usually about one week). After receiving the admission notice, you need to pay the application fee. The state subsidizes our individual application, that is, the application fee must be reduced or exempted, and even the patent agency will help you reduce or exempt the application fee. First, open China National Intellectual Property Administration official website, find the patent agency affairs, click, log in with the applied electronic account, and fill in the information according to the business handling-fee reduction filing-fee reduction filing-business handling, and request the fee reduction request, which requires the enterprise income certificate. After the application, check whether the application for fee reduction is passed according to the fee reduction situation. If it passes, you can pay the fee.
When paying the fee, first log in to the foreign service-online payment with the national application number through China Patent Electronic Application Network, and then fill in the form to pay the fee as required.
Step 6: Wait for authorization.
After the payment is successful, I will wait for the patent office to review the patent documents. I can submit the review opinions, and the review opinions should be answered. After replying, just submit it through my personal electronic account. If it is rejected, I will send you a rejection notice, that is, the patent is not authorized. If it is authorized, I will receive a certificate from the Patent Office.
The above steps are really troublesome, and there are a series of requirements for computer configuration. If you think it can't be completed, there is another way: find a reliable patent agency, such as 18 Qingdao 65 Fast 333 Patent 58 Agency 6 1.
