Advantages of patent application:
1) determine the ownership relationship of the right of invention and creation through legal procedures, so as to effectively protect the achievements of invention and creation and monopolize the market in exchange for maximizing benefits; 2) In order to take the initiative in the market competition, ensure the safety of their own production and sales, and prevent opponents from suing for patent infringement; 3) The state has certain supporting policies for patent application (such as patent incentive policy promulgated by the government and high-tech enterprise policy, etc.). ), and will give some policy and economic help; 4) Apply for a patent for one's invention and creation in time, so that one's invention and creation can be protected by national laws, and prevent others from imitating new technologies and products developed by enterprises (it constitutes a technical barrier, and others must obtain the consent of the patentee if they want to develop similar technologies or products);
Disadvantages of patent application:
Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantages of patent application lie in the application process and operation and maintenance management. In patent application, both enterprises and individuals need to go through long-term and complicated preparations, including instructions, claims, abstracts and drawings. We should not only write patents according to technological achievements, but also pay attention to every link of patent application. It's okay to find a Dingtuo agent to apply for a patent, just worry about the technical docking in the early stage and the provision of relevant information, as well as the services of Dingtuo professionals behind; If you apply for an invention patent yourself, you will pay attention to it from time to time for more than 1 year. A little negligence, everything is in vain. Personally, I think there are still relatively few units applying for patents, often only1-2; If an enterprise has a technology research and development department, it often applies for patents quantitatively, and the patent application work is more complicated. It is suggested to find an agency to entrust a patent agent to apply.
Advantages of purchasing patents: convenient and fast.
Buying a patent is not as complicated as applying for a patent, nor does it take that long. You only need to communicate with Dingtuo customer service staff online or make a phone call to explain in detail the patent requirements you want. Dingtuo staff will list suitable patents for you and buy them directly. The corresponding transfer and change procedures shall be handled by Dingtuo Professional.
Disadvantages of patent purchase: absolute monopoly of patent right
Whether you buy a patent yourself or through an agency, it is a patent transfer change from the patent invention applicant, and the subject of the patent change cannot monopolize the patent absolutely.
Point out the direction: follow the demand
For enterprises, if it is purely for technical protection, Dingtuo's patent agent suggests applying for a patent and obtaining the exclusive right of technology by applying for a patent; If it is used for the purpose of adding points to the declaration of high-tech enterprises and other scientific and technological projects, Dingtuo's patent agent suggests that enterprises buy patents. Short cycle, fast processing and more effective demand docking.
For individuals, it is best to judge whether to apply for a patent or buy a patent. If an individual has the achievements of invention and creation, he can apply for a patent according to the field and technical content of technological achievements, on the one hand, he can increase advanced assets, on the other hand, he can have patent resources when he needs a patent in the future; If individuals have no achievements in invention or technology research and development, when patents need extra points, they can choose to purchase patents directly through the Dingtuo patent trading operation service platform. After use, you can leave it in your own name for emergencies or transfer it through Dingtuo patent platform, which is convenient and practical.
Patent application and purchase have their own advantages and risks.
