From the network celebrity papi sauce to logical thinking, from Zhihu to all kinds of knowledge payment, it is not difficult to see that now is the "knowledge economy era"
In the era of knowledge economy, the position and role of intellectual property in economic and social development is becoming more and more important, and the competition based on innovation and knowledge is becoming more and more fierce. More and more people are beginning to pay attention to how to safeguard their intellectual property rights.
When it comes to protecting one's intellectual property rights, we should say a word that seems irrelevant to ordinary people: patent.
In the impression of most people, the word patent is very far away from us. It seems that only some famous historical figures such as Edison, Watt, Wright brothers and Newton will be associated with patents.
But this is not the case.
In the previous article, we mentioned Zhang Jing, an inventor in the nursing field. More than 0 national utility model patents 100 were declared, 6 national invention patents were filed, and more than 0 national utility model patents 10 were successfully transferred. Realize the realization of technology and knowledge.
Wang Jin, director of the Second Department of General Surgery of Zhuzhou Central Hospital, used his accumulated experience in part-time surgery to successfully invent and apply for a patent-"disposable tubular organ binding puller", which successfully realized the transformation of scientific and technological achievements to Changzhou Weike Medical Equipment Co., Ltd.
Another example is Haitao Feng, a general attending physician in the Department of Dermatology, Chongqing Three Gorges Central Hospital. He has devoted himself to research with amateur knowledge, and has made dozens of inventions, among which 1 1 has obtained the national patent certificate, and 20 inventions are being publicized in China National Intellectual Property Administration, official website.
As you can see, many patents are gradually produced in a lot of clinical work and practical work summary. A small improvement and a new idea can be patented.
With an idea, can the improved product come out and sit back and relax? No! If you don't apply for a patent in time, you may become someone else's wedding dress.
Tu Youyou
The news that Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize, in the medical field, finally made Chinese medicine proud, and at the same time made the national pride of Chinese people soar.
However, in the intellectual property circle, the lack of intellectual property protection system leads to the fall of artemisinin patents, which also makes people sigh. If China people have more valuable inventions, should they protect their own patents and stop letting hooligans "benefit the fishermen"?
The Stockholm Nobel Prize Committee held a press conference to award the 20 15 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Tu Youyou, a pharmacist from China, and two other scientists, william campbell and Satoshi Omura, in recognition of their achievements in the treatment and research of parasitic diseases. Tu Youyou's award-winning patents related to artemisinin, a malaria drug, fell into Novartis's hands, while China, as the main producing area of artemisinin raw materials, can only make meager profits by providing raw materials, while the former enjoys the rolling financial resources of patent monopoly.
More ironically, even the trademark "Tu Youyou" has been registered by others. 20 1 1 Tu Youyou won the nobel prize "wind vane" lasker medical research award, and then a "professional trademark registrant" locked her name. Through the trademark inquiry on the intellectual property management platform Zhikubao, it was found that the natural person Yu Xiaozhi and Suzhou Shi Xia Glasses Co., Ltd. applied for registration of the "Tu Youyou" trademark under the fifth and ninth categories of international trademark classification on 20 12 the year after she won the prize.
Let's take a look at the process of medical reverse patent application:
Step 1: The inventor arranges innovative ideas and prepares technical disclosure.
Technology disclosure can determine the validity of patent declaration. It generally includes the following contents:
1. Invention patent request
2. Summary
3. Attached drawings (if applicable)
Step 4 explain
5. Attached drawings of the instruction manual (if any)
Step 6 claim
Step 2: Carry out patent search.
Through patent search, the novelty of patent writing content is guaranteed and the probability of patent authorization is improved.
Step 3: Sign an intellectual property service agreement.
Sign an agreement with a third-party intellectual property service enterprise, and the enterprise will help the applicant complete the follow-up application.
Step 4: The patent agent conducts the preliminary technical disclosure and communicates with the inventor to confirm that the materials are correct; The agent writes the application documents and reports them to the Patent Office after being confirmed by the customer.
According to the technical disclosure (which may need to communicate with the inventor many times), the patent agent confirms the accuracy of what the inventor wants to express, and then begins to write the application documents.
Step 5: The Patent Office accepts and conducts patent examination.
After the Patent Office accepts the invention patent, the main examination procedures are: preliminary examination, publication, substantive examination, etc.
Step 6: The applicant will revise and correct it.
In the process of review, if defects are found in the application documents, the examiner will ask the applicant to modify or correct them, and the applicant can also take the initiative to propose amendments within the specified time to overcome various defects in the application documents.
Step 7: Authorization Announcement
After examination, the Patent Office officially granted the patent right and announced it.
Although it seems that there are only seven steps, if there are some problems in these links, it will take another month or two to resubmit or supplement the materials. You know, even if everything goes well, it will take about two years. Many people are discouraged.
Although cumbersome, for doctors and nurses, having their own invention patents can not only protect their creativity, but also play a role in evaluating professional titles, and may even be transformed into products and obtain rich economic benefits.
Therefore, it is particularly important to apply for a patent in time and find a reliable patent agency.
