The following is the specific process in the application procedure for patent for appearance:
First of all, we should prepare relevant materials, and the patent application (which can be downloaded in China National Intellectual Property Administration) should be downloaded by an agency. Fill in the relevant information on the patent application to ensure that the information filled in is correct and the format needs to be written in accordance with the regulations. You also need to prepare pictures and instructions for applying for a design patent.
Two, after the above materials are ready, you can proceed to the next step, send the materials to China National Intellectual Property Administration or submit them to the property management office, and entrust an agency to act directly.
3. After receiving the applicant's application materials and confirming that the materials are correct, the Intellectual Property Office will issue a notice of acceptance to the applicant, who shall pay the patent application fee.
4. The applicant is waiting for the Patent examiners review stage, which will take a long time. The examiner will conduct a detailed review from three aspects, which usually takes several months. In the meantime, the patented products designed by the applicant should not be rushed to the market, because once listed, there will still be certain risks, and improper operation may lead to the invalidation of the patents behind them, which is not worth the candle.
5. The Patent Office gives the applicant an authorization notice. After the waiting period, if there is no problem with the patent, the Patent Office will give the applicant an authorization notice. At this point, the patent applicant still needs to pay the patent licensing fee.
Six, obtain a patent certificate, and formally obtain the right to use and control the patent. After a long process, the patent office will issue a patent certificate to the applicant after confirming that it is qualified. At this time, the patentee will obtain the rights and interests of the patent, and the patentee shall act in accordance with the provisions on the patent certificate, and shall not use the patent at will in violation of the matters on the patent certificate.
The above is the application procedure for design patent. I remind you that in the application process, the application procedure for the design patent must meet the application conditions. If you have any other questions, you can consult Intellectual Property for a detailed understanding.
