Technical patents in company operation

1. If the patent is a service invention, that is, the patent obtained mainly by using the resources of the enterprise, including equipment, personnel and funds, belongs to the company, but the individual enjoys the right to remuneration. However, in order not to cause unnecessary troubles, relevant agreements should be made when hiring technicians to avoid unnecessary troubles.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to protect the patented technology of enterprises. The first is technical secrets, that is, to protect the technical secrets of enterprises through confidentiality. The second way is through patent application. If the patent is developed by the company's technicians, it is best to apply for patent protection. On the issue of patent right, there are two main ways to obtain it. First of all,

One is a one-time buyout, of course, this way requires a lot of investment, and it is evaluated according to the advanced nature of the patent; The second way is to use the license to implement the patent. If you monopolize the patent, you can talk to the patentee in the form of exclusive license, so that the patent will belong to you completely during that time!

3, the need for sustainable development, whether to buy or "rent" mainly depends on the company's operating model. In fact, if the company wants to continue to develop, buying patents is not a long-term solution. The key is to invest in research and development. Patent technology is constantly changing and developing. Even if you buy a patent and later develop a +C patent on a patented technology, an enterprise must be authorized by the +C patent to make a good product. At this time, the problem of cross-licensing appears, that is, the other party's products need to rely on your patents for production, and your products also need to rely on the other party's patents for production. At this time, cross-licensing can be carried out and both can be developed at the same time.

So "renting" or "buying" is not a long-term solution (sustainable development). The key is that the company should have a patent. Just like Huawei, ZTE and Meizu mobile phones before, we should buy patents of other foreign brands (Apple, Samsung, etc. ) to produce and sell products. Now domestic brands have increased investment in technology research and development, and can cross-authorize production with foreign mobile phone brands, greatly reducing the cost of enterprises. This can also be said.
