Application process of invention patent

Preparation of application documents → application steps → approval process → handling institution → processing time limit → fee payment.

1. Application phase

The application documents for a patent for invention shall include: the request for a patent for invention, the specification (if the specification has attached drawings, it shall be submitted), the patent claim and the abstract (if necessary, the abstract shall have attached drawings).

Where a patent agency is entrusted, a power of attorney shall be submitted.

To apply for fee reduction, an application for fee reduction and corresponding supporting documents shall be submitted.

2. Review stage

(1) Preliminary review:

After receiving an application for a patent for invention, the Patent Office shall conduct a preliminary examination. After passing the preliminary examination, it will be published from the date of application 18 months later. The Patent Office may also publish its application at an early date upon the request of the applicant.

The preliminary examination mainly checks whether the application documents are complete; (2) Whether the form meets the standard; ③ Whether the expenses are paid. In the preliminary examination, the Patent Office will issue a notice of correction for the above matters, and the applicant will make corrections.

(II) Substantive review

After the invention application is made public, the Patent Office will start the substantive examination after receiving the applicant's request for substantive examination. The examiner issued a notice of examination opinions to evaluate the novelty, creativity and practicability of the invention application, and pointed out that

There are substantial defects in the application documents. The applicant shall reply to the examination opinions and modify the application documents when necessary.

If the applicant's reply overcomes the examination opinions, the examiner will issue a notice of granting the patent right.

The applicant shall pay the patent registration fee, authorized annual fee and announcement printing fee within the prescribed time limit, and pay the stamp duty on the patent certificate.

You can get a patent certificate after registration.

Generally speaking, the examination process of invention patents is as follows: filing an application-notification of acceptance-payment of application fee-preliminary examination-notification of conformity-publication within 65,438+08 months from the date of filing-filing an actual examination request, payment of actual examination fee-substantive examination (notification of opinions-statement of opinions, which can be repeated)-authorization notice-payment.

The above is a relatively smooth process of invention patent examination. If there are various changes in the review, the whole process will also change accordingly.

Of course, you can also submit a "pre-disclosure request" and a "substantive examination request" at the same time, and pay the actual examination fee at the same time, and make it public about 6 months after the application date, and enter the substantive examination procedure.

In this process, because it is usually not as smooth as the above, various changes will occur. Therefore, even from the perspective of process, it is appropriate to entrust a patent agent. If a patent agent is entrusted, what the applicant needs to do is to decide when to make a request for substantive examination, and discuss the technical problems in the defense with the agent when receiving the notice of actual examination.
