After the utility model patent is certified, the technology will be made public. It seems that foreign countries can copy it (after all, I can't afford to apply at the same time). What are the ways?

First of all, you should be clear about these problems (that is, there are misunderstandings in your narrative).

1. Your patent has not been authorized. Only when you are authorized and have the money to pay the annual fee can everything take effect. You are entitled to legal protection. If you have no money, you can only talk.

2. Even after you have obtained the patent authorization in China and paid the annual fee, you can't prevent others from applying for a patent with the same technical content in countries or regions outside China, and you can only prevent them from being authorized by priority. Unless you have the money to apply for priority Because the specific laws of different countries are different, you can only apply for the priority of the relevant countries through an attorney, but it still costs money.

After your patent is authorized in China, you can only trade in China, not abroad, after paying the annual fee.

Suggestion:

If your patent does have a market, then you can talk to Haier incubator or other venture capital enterprises, and maybe you can get financial support. And venture capital enterprises only invest, generally will not buy your patent directly, although it is possible to be bought.

If a venture capital enterprise is willing to invest for you, then most of the problems that are bothering you because of funds mentioned above can be solved.

If the venture capital enterprises you invest in have their own overseas or global branches, they will give you good advice or directly help you achieve the priority requirements of relevant countries.

Hope to adopt, thank you.
