What is the domestic patent application process?
If you want your invention to be protected by the state, you must apply for being granted a patent right. At this time, the applicant needs to apply to the national patent office or the patent office (after all, the patent application is very professional and complicated, and a government department may not be able to handle it easily, so there is a department dedicated to managing this piece). After the examination of the patent application process stipulated in the patent law, through this process, the products submitted for application meet the requirements, and finally the patent right and patent certificate can be obtained. At this time, the applicant will also become the patentee. The principle of patent authorization is that only one patent right can be obtained for an invention. If two or more people apply for an invention technology separately, our country is different from other countries and adopts the principle of first come, first served. According to the actual application time of the applicant, the abbreviation shall prevail. The first applicant will get a patent certificate. There are two main ways to deal with it: the patent agency entrusted by the state and the China Patent Office. Applicants can only apply for patents in these two places. To apply for a patent, you need to prepare the following materials, which is the premise of the audit process. 1. Description of the invented product, which is the most important, including the name of the product, the description of the product, the manufacturing method or the way of using the invented method, and the method that the inventor thinks is the best for the invention. Must truthfully explain, generally explain the degree to which relevant professionals can make products. The scope of protection is pointed out in the specification. 2. Basic drawings or design drawings of products. 3. The applicant's product statement or affidavit. None of the above documents can be omitted, because the writing format is particularly strict, so in general, you can find some agencies or entrust professionals to assist the applicant. After submitting the above three materials to the Patent Office, it will be accepted by the Patent Office. After receiving the notification of acceptance, the applicant shall promptly pay the necessary application fee to the Patent Office, and if it is an invention patent, it shall also submit the examination fee or other required fees. After payment, the patent office will ask the applicant to wait for the notice. After receiving the authorization notice from the Patent Office, the applicant has to pay the evidence fee and the annual fee for the first year of the patent, and then wait for the Patent Office to issue the patent certificate. When the applicant receives the patent certificate, it means that the patent application is successful.
