What is the difference between companies and units applying for patents?

There is no difference in the review process, application time limit and application difficulty between individuals and companies.

Personal application belongs to individuals and has nothing to do with the company. Service inventions are applied by individuals, which easily leads to patent ownership disputes. The rights and interests applied by the company belong to the company, and there is no ownership dispute. It is relatively easy to operate in identifying high-tech enterprises and listing companies.

Individuals who apply for financial difficulties can enjoy reduction or exemption, and the annual fee will be deferred for the first three years, as long as they pay15%; It is more expensive for companies to apply, but they can enjoy government subsidies in some areas.

Personal application is not conducive to brand promotion, while company application is conducive to corporate brand promotion and later financing.

Individual applications can enjoy relief, some of which are funded by the local government; Companies can enjoy government subsidies, preferential evaluation, declaration of high-tech enterprises and patent pledge in some fields.

From the cost point of view, it seems that individual application is better, but if it is for enterprises, it is better to apply in the name of the company in the long run.
