The advantages of early disclosure are:
1. Inventions that apply for early disclosure will be made public 3-6 months later and enter the substantive examination stage. The overall examination time is 0.5- 1.5 years faster than that without public closing in advance;
2. You can get temporary protection. According to the patent law, an invention patent can be temporarily protected after it is published, and the right protection can be claimed after the patent is granted;
3. Make it public as soon as possible, which is conducive to publicity and promotion.
The disadvantages of early disclosure are:
1. The invention is made public in advance and the technology is made public, which will affect the authorization rate of the applicant's subsequent series of improved technologies. Colleagues can also know the patent layout direction of the applicant earlier.
2. According to the progress of technology and market reaction, the patent that has been applied for can be applied for or protected by technical secrets after being voluntarily withdrawn and modified, and the opportunity to protect technical secrets will be lost after being made public.
If you are not sure for the time being, you can not make it public in advance, and then apply when you want to speed up the review. The situation of each enterprise is different, and it is still necessary to analyze specific problems. If you are confused about this, you can consult online.
