Personal patent application can not only be used as a bonus for further study, but also be the basis for employees to evaluate their professional titles. Next, I would like to introduce the process of individual patent application in Guangzhou. What is the process of individual patent application in Guangzhou? 1. Filling and writing of patent application documents: There are specific requirements for filling and writing patent application documents, and the applicant can fill or write them himself or entrust a patent agency to handle them on his behalf. Although it is not mandatory to entrust a patent agency, considering the importance of carefully writing patent application documents and the legal rigor of examination and approval procedures, it is worth promoting for applicants with little experience. 2. Acceptance of patent applications: After receiving a patent application, the Patent Office's acceptance office or the offices dispatched by the patent offices will determine the application date, give the application number, and issue an acceptance notice to the applications that meet the acceptance conditions. 3. Payment method of application fee: The application fee and other fees can be paid directly to the toll office or agency of the Patent Office, or remitted by bank or post office. At present, banks use electronic transfer and post offices use electronic remittance. When paying the patent fee through the post office or bank, the payer shall indicate the correct application number or patent number on the money order, and shall abbreviate the name of the payer. The remitter should ask the bank or post office staff to enter the above payment information in the remittance postscript column. If you remit money through the post office, you should also ask the post office staff to enter the complete mailing address, including the postal code, which will play an important role in future procedures. Fees shall not be sent to the Patent Office. 4. Time to pay the application fee: If the patent application documents are submitted in person, the application fee can be paid after obtaining the acceptance notice and the application fee payment notice. If an application is submitted by mail, the application fee shall be paid after receiving the notification of acceptance and the notification of payment of the application fee, because the application fee needs to be paid with the corresponding application number, but the date of payment of the application fee shall not exceed two months from the date of application at the latest. 5. Patent examination and approval procedure: According to the Patent Law, the examination and approval procedure of an application for a patent for invention includes five stages: acceptance, preliminary examination, publication, actual examination and authorization. When examining and approving an application for a patent for utility model or design, there are only three stages: acceptance, preliminary examination and authorization.
