First, when applying for a patent
From the above introduction, we can also know that for most people who want to apply for a patent, it is necessary to conduct a patent search before applying, and the reason for this is that when applying for a patent, you must ensure that your invention has not been applied for by others, so that you can successfully apply for a patent. If you apply directly without searching, your application will probably be rejected, which will not only waste time, but also waste a lot of money. After all, the cost of applying for a patent is also high.
Second, when using patents.
For many enterprises, when producing a certain product, they need to use some patented technologies. Without the authorization of the patent owner, using patented technology is tantamount to infringement. If the other party files a lawsuit, you need compensation funds at this time, so you must first find the patent and the owner authorizes it. At this time, you can get patent-related information through patent search, including patent number and owner's information, so that you can find them and get authorization.
