Importance of patent application:
After applying for a patent and obtaining a patent right, we can not only protect our own invention achievements and prevent the loss of scientific research achievements, but also obtain monopoly profits to make up for R&D investment, which is also conducive to scientific and technological progress and economic development. You can occupy the market space of new technologies and their products by applying for patents, and get corresponding economic benefits.
Reasons for application:
1. Determine the ownership of the right of invention and creation through legal procedures, so as to effectively protect the achievements of invention and creation and monopolize the market in exchange for the maximum benefit;
2. In order to take the initiative in the market competition, ensure the safety of our production and sales, and prevent our opponents from suing us for infringement (suffering high economic compensation, forcing us to stop production and sales);
3. The state has certain support policies for patent applications (such as patent incentive policies promulgated by the government, high-tech enterprise policies, etc.). ), and will give some policy and economic help.
The patent right is protected by the national patent law, and no unit or individual may use it (sue others for patent infringement and claim compensation) without the consent of the patentee.
5. Apply for a patent for one's invention and creation in time, so that one's invention and creation are protected by national laws, and others are prevented from imitating the new technologies and new products developed by this enterprise (it constitutes a technical barrier, and others must obtain the consent of the patentee if they want to develop similar technologies or products).
6. If you don't apply for a patent for your invention and creation in time, others will apply for a patent for your labor, and in turn sue you for patent infringement to the court or the patent management authority.
