1, patent retrieval The reason why we put patent retrieval in the first step is because many applicants often ignore this point. They usually rack their brains to make inventions, but when they apply for patents, they find that others have already applied for patents for their inventions, so they try to go up in smoke; If this "invented" product is produced and sold, it may be infringing; If you encounter millions of intellectual property lawsuits, it is enough to crush a small and medium-sized enterprise. Therefore, before new product development and new project approval, it is necessary to know the relevant information of intellectual property rights in the developed product field through patent retrieval in advance, and check whether the invention involved has been patented by others to avoid blind innovation. 2. Preparation of patent application documents for invention patents and utility models includes: patent request, specification, drawings of specification, claims, abstract of specification, etc. The application documents for a design patent include: a request for a design patent, pictures or photographs, etc. Where color protection is required, color pictures or photographs shall also be submitted, and pictures or photographs shall not be mixed. If pictures or photo descriptions are needed, a brief description of the design shall be submitted. Applicants who entrust an agency need to provide: technical disclosure/design pictures or photos, a brief description; Power of attorney; Apply for fee waiver. 3. Patent application documents submitted to the National Information Bureau are generally submitted electronically. After completing the relevant procedures, the patent applicant or agent can submit the electronic application documents to the National Information Bureau from the Internet. 4. Within 1-3 working days after the patent application documents are submitted to the National Information Bureau, the National Information Bureau will issue a notice of acceptance. 5. About 3 months from the general application date of preliminary examination, if the invention patent is qualified, it will issue a notice of preliminary examination and enter the next stage; If the examination is unqualified, a notice of correction or examination opinions shall be issued. The utility model and design patents pass the examination and issue a notice of authorization, and those that fail to pass the examination issue a notice of correction or a notice of examination opinions. For the notice of correction or review, the applicant needs to complete the reply within the official time limit. 6. Publication of invention patent The invention patent will be published within 65,438+08 months from the default application date (the earliest priority date). If you choose to publish in advance, the application documents will generally be published within 5-6 months. 7. Substantive examination (this step is not required for utility model and design patents). The biggest difference between invention patent and utility model and design patent application process is that the invention needs substantive examination. The applicant shall make a request for substantive examination within 3 years from the date of application (the earliest priority date). You can also submit a request for substantive examination at the same time as the application documents, so as to speed up the examination of the application documents by the examiner. Substantive examination is a necessary stage before an application for a patent for invention is authorized. The substantive examination time of a patent is generally 6- 18 months, which depends on the technical scheme of the invention, the writing quality of the patent application documents, the examiner's understanding of the invention, the examiner's work arrangement and the reciprocating time of the reply documents between the examiner and the patent agent. It can be said that the substantive examination stage of invention patents takes a long time. 8. Authorization and authorization announcement 3-6 months later, the utility model or design patent can be authorized after passing the preliminary examination. A patent for invention may be granted after it has passed the substantive examination. Pay the authorized personnel fee and go through the registration formalities within 2 months from the date of authorization notice. 9. When the patent certificate is issued, the applicant is deemed to have completely completed the patent application process.
