What is patent public opinion?
What is patent public opinion? What are the main reasons for the patentee's successful patent application? Since the patentee can successfully apply for a patent, it means that the patent application conforms to the three characteristics of the patent and the novelty, creativity and practicality of the patent; If the patent applied for is a duplicate patent that others have applied for, or the patent does not reflect the three characteristics at all, even if it passes the patent examination, it will still be opposed by the public. What is the patent public opinion? Let's learn what patent objection review is. It refers to a review system that allows anyone in the society to object to a patent application within the statutory time limit after the patent application is published. Through this objection review, the Patent Office extensively solicits the public's comments on patent applications, finds problems in time, and makes correct authorization decisions, thus reducing disputes after patent authorization. Therefore, public opinions on patents are also very useful public supervision. Anyone's opinions on an application for a patent for invention that does not conform to the provisions of the Patent Law shall be kept in the application documents for the examiner to consider when examining the substance. If it is the public opinion received after the examiner issues the notice of patent grant, it need not be considered. The handling of public opinions by the patent office does not need to inform the public who put forward opinions. Anyone can raise an objection to the Patent Office within 3 months from the date of the announcement of the patent application. Of course, this does not mean that the patent application is decided by the opinions of Patent examiners and the patent public. In any case, the main manifestation of applying for a patent is to move closer to the patent. As long as there are three bases for a patent application, if the patentee is dissatisfied with the examination results, he may, within three months from the date of receiving the notice of decision from the Patent Office, request a reexamination from the Patent Reexamination Board. Even if the patent reexamination is not accepted, the patentee can go to the court for corresponding litigation.
