How to apply for overseas patents?
1. Foreign-related patent applications can now be conducted through the Paris Convention.
China is a member of the Paris Pact, and China applicants can directly file patent applications with other Paris Pact member countries on the basis of China's application. Regional patent applications can also be filed through regional patent organizations (such as European Patent Office, Eurasian Patent Organization, African Intellectual Property Organization, etc.). ).
2. Now you can apply for foreign-related patents through PCT.
China has joined the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), and China applicants can apply for foreign patents from 1994 1 through PCT.
Conditions to be met when applying for overseas patents:
1. You must first apply for a patent in China or apply for a patent in China at the same time.
2. Entrust foreign-related patent agencies.
Applying for overseas patents is naturally very different from applying for patents at home. Therefore, if you want to apply for an overseas patent, you must understand it thoroughly before applying. The relevant process should be clear and the materials to be prepared must be complete, so that the process is not easy to make mistakes and the success rate of overseas patent applications will be higher.
