Whether it is useful or not depends on two points first.
The first is to see if there are any clear requirements on the relevant documents of the title evaluation of the unit or unit system, that is, to see if there are any patents that can be added.
Second, it depends on whether the professional work you are engaged in is suitable for applying for a patent. You must have a corresponding technological innovation plan before you can declare it.
Then the most important thing is to be clear. Even for utility model patents, it takes 6- 14 months to review. Moreover, the passing rate of utility model patents is not high at present, which depends entirely on the practicality, novelty and creativity of patent application. At present, the estimated pass rate is only 60%, and it is getting stricter and stricter, so even if you can add points to your professional title by applying for patent results, don't put eggs in the patent basket. In case it really took more than a year to know that the result failed, all other preparations would be in vain.
Others, such as the publication of papers and monographs, although the publication time is almost the same as the patent application time, the results can be known quickly. For example, even the highest-end journals generally have only half a year's review time, while other core or better general journals only need to be reviewed for 2-3 months at most, and some relatively water-saving general journals only need to be reviewed for one week. You can quickly know whether they can pass, and then adjust the topic preparation materials according to the results. If you only put eggs,
In addition, we must be alert to patent transfer. The name and unit of the original author will definitely be published in the transferred patent authorization certificate, which cannot be erased, so we would rather declare it again than buy or sell the transferred patent to evaluate the title.
