Are patents important for domestic Internet or software startups?

Nowadays, the competition in the market economy is fierce, and enterprises all want their products to occupy a place in the market. In order to achieve this goal, enterprises should apply for patents for their inventions in time and protect their inventions through laws. If you don't apply for a patent in time, your invention can be used by anyone, and your enterprise will lose the opportunity to occupy the market. In addition, if your invention is not patented in time, and your product appears in the market, and your competitors know about your product and apply for a patent, they will sue you for patent infringement in turn, adding unnecessary trouble to themselves and putting you in a passive position.

The main purpose of applying for a patent is to let your enterprise win the initiative in the market competition, and to prevent competitors from applying for patents for their inventions, so as to make their products occupy a place in the market. So what are the benefits of applying for a patent for an enterprise?

The following summarizes the benefits of applying for a patent on the importance of applying for a patent to an enterprise:

1. Adopt patent strategy to occupy the market in its own field;

2. Enhance the qualification of enterprises, increase the possibility of winning the bid for large projects, and establish a competitive advantage in the market;

4. Patent applications can be used to declare projects, personal honor and personal promotion;

5. Enterprises need to sell products and publicize.

6. Apply for a bank loan and use the patent as collateral.
