What does the Patent Examination Center do? How do examiners examine patents? The so-called patent is technology. Everyone knows that it is not easy to apply for an invention patent. It is not easy to apply for a patent, and patent examination is even more difficult. Maybe everyone will wait for the examination results as soon as they submit their patents, but the patent examination process is not something that ordinary people can complete. The patent is handed over to the patent examination center, and the examiner of the patent examination center begins to examine it. However, it is conceivable that they must know the patented technology like the back of their hands. How do examiners examine patents? Because fewer people examine intellectual property rights, there is an urgent need to expand the number of examiners. The Patent Office also has a patent examination cooperation center with seven sub-centers in Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Henan, Guangdong, Sichuan and Hubei. It belongs to the employment system, and the contract period with employees is 4 years (actual examination). China National Intellectual Property Administration belongs to the civil service establishment. Through the examination division of the collaborative center, the burden of examination is reduced and patent examination is more convenient. To be honest, the staff of the patent examination center are not easy to recruit. At first, it was impossible to find a professional examiner, because there was no university specially trained in Patent examiners, and there was no unit outside the patent office that had the profession of Patent examiners. Therefore, every Patent examiners is cultivated by the Patent Office. There are two ways to train examiners, one is domestic training, and the other is to send international students for further study. Examiners in China Patent Examination Center are divided into four levels, including patent examination researcher, patent examination associate researcher, patent examination assistant researcher and patent examination research intern. So if you want to get a higher professional title, you need to go through many tests, just like the level of patent examination researchers. It is conceivable that the examiner needs to know a wide range of technologies. Over the years, the National Patent Examination Center has made important contributions to patent applications.
