The functions of patent compilation:
1. Expand the possibility of utilizing new technologies, thereby promoting the technological progress of the entire society. After compilation, patent documents will have a different role from ordinary books and become special materials that meet the needs of scientific and technological development. They can promote the utilization and promotion of patented technologies and realize the economic value of scientific and technological information.
2. Warn competitors and protect intellectual property rights. The patentee is most worried about competitors infringing its patent rights, so the patentee hopes to convey a warning message to competitors through the publication of patent document information.
3. Learn from rights information to avoid infringement disputes. By containing the protection information (claims), patent geographical validity information (country/region of application), and patent time validity information (application date, publication date) of each patent in the patent document, self-restraint can be effectively achieved and disputes avoided. .
