Patent applications are divided into invention patents, utility model patents and design patents, and the required materials are different:
(1) To apply for a patent for invention, the application documents shall include: the request for a patent for invention, the specification (with attached drawings when necessary), the patent claim, the abstract and the attached drawings in duplicate.
(2) To apply for a patent for utility model, the application documents shall include: the request for a patent for utility model, the specification, the appended drawings of the specification, the patent claim, the abstract and the appended drawings in duplicate.
(3) To apply for a design, the application documents shall include: a request for a design patent, pictures or photographs in duplicate. Where color protection is required, a color and a black-and-white picture or photograph shall also be submitted. If it is necessary to explain the pictures or photographs, a brief description of the design shall be submitted in duplicate.
A large part of the reason for the success of patent application is patent writing, which is a time-consuming and brain-consuming thing. We should not only consider the format of the patent itself similar to the legal provisions, but also expand the scope of self-protection scientifically and rigorously, which is why many people spend a lot of time looking for reliable patent agencies. There are too many patent agents on the market at present. Be sure to shop around when choosing, and don't be attracted by some low-priced or varied advertisements.
The above is about what materials need to be prepared to apply for a patent. After applying for a patent and obtaining a patent right, we can not only protect our own invention achievements and prevent the loss of scientific research achievements, but also obtain monopoly profits to make up for R&D investment, which is also conducive to scientific and technological progress and economic development. You can occupy the market space of new technologies and their products by applying for patents, and get corresponding economic benefits.
