Can I apply for a patent without doing experiments?

1. Whether the patent application is authorized enough depends on the novelty. The basis for judging novelty is not whether the product is on the market, but whether the technology is open, such as periodicals, websites, operation manuals, patent documents and so on. But examiners generally focus on retrieving patent documents.

2. The patent application may not need samples, models and experiments, but it still needs a relatively complete technical scheme. In other words, there must be solutions, not just ideas. For example, I have an idea to level the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and let the rain brought by the humid monsoon in the Indian Ocean moisten the northwest of China. Only ideas, no solutions. This idea cannot be patented.

If you have no experience, you'd better ask a patent agency for help. Just like you want to hire a lawyer in a lawsuit, after all, applying for a patent is a very professional job. As for the agent, just look for a formal registration, and the professional ethics should be no problem. They represent many patent applications every day, including many companies and institutions.

4. Agency fees are different. Generally 1000-2000 RMB or so. The application fee can be reduced, and 75 yuan can get a 15% discount.

Now patent application does not need models and experiments, as long as the technical scheme is reasonable, novel, practical and creative.
