How to understand the business method patent? What should I pay attention to when applying for a business method patent? First of all, according to the literal meaning, the so-called business generally refers to financial, insurance, securities, leasing, auction, investment, marketing, advertising, tourism, entertainment, services, real estate, medical care, education, publishing, management and other activities, but does our business method patent refer to this? Actually, not yet. What should I pay attention to when applying for a business method patent? At present, there is no uniform definition of business method patent in all countries of the world. The definition of business method patent by the World Intellectual Property Organization is that business method patent involves creative business methods that operate business through digital networks. So if we can define business method patents differently according to different situations, there may be regional differences in business method patents, so how do we stipulate business method patents in China? The object of business method patent is a business method invention realized by technical means. In China, it is generally believed that the business method patent refers to the invention patent authorized by the business method completed by computer and network technology. Specifically, it includes: telecommunications, finance, ordering and transportation, and all patents related to Internet applications and e-commerce. So we can know that the so-called business methods are basically linked to network communication. When applying for a patent by commercial means, it is mainly necessary to search the patent in the early stage. If the patent is duplicated with others' patents, there is basically no probability of successful application, then the patent can be abandoned, which is conducive to reducing the loss of patent research and application. Of course, some patents with trade secrets are not suitable for patent application, and common patents that are not recommended for application are generally simple and easy to understand, such as secret patents, like Coca-Cola, so the patentee still needs to consider carefully.
