The importance of patent application in today's society With the continuous development of science and technology, the role of science and technology in promoting the development of enterprises and companies cannot be underestimated. If every enterprise wants to develop in such a competitive society, the most valuable thing is to have its own scientific and technological products. However, it is not enough to have their own products, because in the process of product circulation, there are often all kinds of enterprises that fake and shoddy the products that companies have tried their best to design and produce, which will reduce the enthusiasm of companies for innovation. In this case, applying for patent protection of intellectual property rights, a new technology and new product developed by each company will be approved by the State Patent Office and granted a patent, and their patent rights will be fully guaranteed, not only to avoid being counterfeited by unauthorized subjects, but also to obtain more adequate protection. Therefore, whether it is image or benefit, enterprises will get huge benefits.

Having technological achievements protected by the patent law, and not afraid of leaking secrets, and not afraid of losing technological achievements due to the job-hopping of unit technicians;
Increase the stock of intangible assets, improve the taste of enterprises and promote foreign trade;
Be able to monopolize the sales market of patented products, implement patents independently and obtain economic benefits;
Obtain economic benefits by transferring patented technology or licensing patents.
