To apply for a patent for invention, the applicant's contact information and a copy of his ID card are required. When applying, the company needs to provide a copy of the organization code certificate and a copy of the business license. The application documents mainly include the request for the invention patent, the specification (with attached drawings when necessary), the patent claim, the abstract and the attached drawings, each in duplicate.
Where an invention patent involves amino acid or nucleotide sequence, the specification shall include a sequence list, which shall be submitted as a separate part of the specification, and at the same time, a CD or floppy disk containing the sequence list in accordance with the provisions of China National Intellectual Property Administration shall be submitted.
Second, matters needing attention in applying for a patent for invention
1. Apply in time and pay attention to the schedule.
The novelty and creativity of invention patents are related to the filing date. Pay attention to the priority, and the patent right is also granted to the first applicant. Therefore, those who intend to apply for a patent for invention should apply in time. Where an inventor submits an application, the Patent Office shall regard it as the date of filing when it receives the inventor's application. If it is mailed, the postmark shall prevail, and it shall be regarded as the date of application.
Also pay attention to the reasonable time and arrangement of external application. If the time is not handled in time, it may be wasted.
2. The application materials shall be standardized and attached with necessary drawings.
Patent application materials should be fully prepared and have their own technology. No matter what kind of patent you apply for, the most basic and important thing is to ensure that the content and format of the application materials meet the relevant requirements.
When submitting a patent application, the inventor shall have a complete and clear description of certain types of inventions or practical achievements, and need to prepare corresponding drawings when necessary.
3. Give it to professionals and disclose the technology to agents.
Professional things are left to professional people. Now there are many specialized agencies responsible for writing technical books. In addition to the easy passage of the content of the copy, they also avoided the trouble of not knowing the format and content framework of the copy. Although they have to pay a certain intermediary fee, it is actually time-saving and labor-saving for themselves.
Choose a professional and reliable agent, and don't hide the corresponding technology from the agent, because on the basis of mutual understanding and openness, the agent can handle related matters more perfectly.
