First, to apply for a patent, you must first register.
Patent application is a necessary procedure for obtaining patent right. To obtain a patent right, the applicant shall file an application with the State Patent Office, which shall approve and issue a certificate. When filing a patent application with the State Patent Office, the applicant shall also submit a series of application documents, such as the request, specification, abstract and patent claim. In terms of patent application, the provisions of the patent laws of all countries in the world are basically the same. You can apply by yourself or find an intermediary. Patent application measures to prevent infringement and copyright registration are voluntary, and any registration act is preliminary evidence to prove rights. We should choose the officially designated registration and filing institutions, the third-party platforms such as trade associations to register and file electronic data quickly, and the third-party supporting platform with strong technical background and credibility to store certificates: the public copyright protection platform to carry out time authentication and multi-latitude intelligent authentication of digital works.
