What is the new patent application process?

1. What is the new patent application process? The new patent application process is slightly different according to the different ways, which are generally divided into two ways: handling it yourself or looking for a third-party professional platform agent. The processes of these two methods are different, but the basic direction is application → substantive examination → granting of patent right. (1) Handling process of agency appointment: 1. Submit technical disclosure and power of attorney II. Technical exchanges between the two sides. Sign an agency agreement. Pay agency fees and official fees. Writing patent application documents 6. File a patent application 7. Submit 8 agency reports and patent office acceptance notices. Waiting for the approval and authorization of the Patent Office (2) independently handling the process operation 1, and submitting the application (preparing materials) 2. Whether the preliminary examination office of the patent office meets the requirements of formal examination will take about 3 months. 3. After the expiration of 18 months from the date of filing, the Patent Office will disclose the contents of the application for a patent for invention unless the application is disclosed in advance (about 6 months). 4. Make a request for substantive examination and pay the request fee for substantive examination within 3 years from the date of application. If the applicant agrees to submit the request for substantive examination and pays the request fee for substantive examination when submitting the patent application, it will enter the substantive examination stage in about 6 months (which is conducive to obtaining authorization as soon as possible). After examining whether the technical scheme applied for protection conforms to novelty, creativity and other substantive conditions that can be authorized, the examiner of the Patent Office issues a notice of examination opinions (three times on average). For example, whether there are reasons for rejection, or whether the scope of application for protection should be narrowed. 5. When the examiner thinks that there is no reason for rejection or it meets the authorization conditions after reasonable argumentation by the agent, the Patent Office will issue a notice of granting the patent right. Get the patent certificate about 2 months after receiving the notice and paying the fee. 6. Certification 2. Definition of patent application process Patent application is a necessary procedure for obtaining patent right. To obtain a patent right, the applicant shall file an application with the State Patent Office, which shall approve and issue a certificate. When filing a patent application with the State Patent Office, the applicant shall also submit a series of application documents, such as the request, specification, abstract and patent claim. In terms of patent application, the provisions of the patent laws of all countries in the world are basically the same. You can apply by yourself or find an intermediary. Patent application: An invention-creation must be applied by the applicant to the competent government department (China National Intellectual Property Administration, People's Republic of China in China), and the patent right can only be obtained after it is examined and approved by People's Republic of China (PRC) and China National Intellectual Property Administration according to legal procedures. In China, inventions include three types, namely inventions, utility models and designs. In the application stage, they are called application for invention patent, application for utility model patent and application for design patent respectively. After being authorized, they are called invention patent, utility model patent and design patent respectively. At this point, the applicant is the patentee of the corresponding patent. Third, what are the classifications? 1. Invention patent: you can apply for an invention patent for a product, a method or a new technical scheme proposed by the improvement of a product or method; 2. Patent for utility model: you can apply for a patent for utility model for a new technical scheme suitable for practical use according to the shape, structure or combination of products; 3. Design patent: You can apply for a design patent for a new design with aesthetic feeling and suitable for industrial application according to the shape, pattern or their combination and the combination of color, shape and pattern of the product. In recent years, people's awareness of copyright has gradually increased, and the number of patent applications has also increased year by year. This process is complicated and requires a lot of materials. Usually, many people do not choose to handle it themselves, but choose a tripartite agency to handle it. Need to remind everyone that there are many agency companies in the market, so we must carefully screen the qualifications of the companies.
