You can apply for a patent yourself, but patent application is not only a complicated and professional legal act, but also involves technical, economic and legal knowledge. Before deciding to apply, the applicant needs to carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages of patent application. For example, it is necessary to make a preliminary judgment on the patentability of the application content, predict the market potential of the application content, measure the interest of the application, and select the application area to determine the protection area. After deciding to apply, it is necessary to prepare various application documents, which not only conforms to the law and various requirements, but also protects the legitimate rights and interests of the applicant to the maximum extent. After obtaining a patent, we should protect and safeguard the rights we have obtained and fulfill the corresponding obligations. In the process of patent licensing trade, there are also many legal procedures to be handled. Such a complicated process is really a heavy burden for inventors and technicians with only professional knowledge. Patent agents fill the gap of the patentee in law. Patent agents are generally professionals who have received special legal training. They are familiar with all the application procedures, can finish the routine work required for applying for and maintaining patents on time, give full play to their advantages of knowing both law and technology, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of patentees from the technical, economic and legal perspectives. Patent application procedures are complicated, and patent agents can help the patentee get rid of unnecessary fetters in the application process, thus saving a lot of time for the patentee, reducing their burden and allowing them to concentrate on newer technology research and development. Moreover, the effective work of the patentee can greatly reduce the revision and supplement rate of the application documents, thus shortening the examination and approval time, improving the work efficiency of the patent examination organ, making the patent application pass as soon as possible, putting it into actual production and realizing economic value. If the patentee wants to apply for a patent abroad, the requirements for applying for a patent are higher and more difficult due to the limitation of objective conditions. Hiring a patent agent to apply for a patent is conducive to the smooth application. Article 20 of the Patent Law of China stipulates that if a China entity or individual applies for a patent for its invention-creation completed in China, it shall first apply to the patent administration department of the State Council and entrust its designated patent agency to handle it.
