1, the patent is easily leaked and then stolen by others.
Patent means a kind of technological innovation, which can help enterprises improve or enhance the service level of a certain business field. Only after the invention is patented can it be effectively protected by law.
If the inventor does not apply for a patent, but only uses it as an invention, once the content of the invention, including detailed steps and specific implementation methods, is leaked and stolen and used by others, the inventor can neither protect his rights and interests with legal weapons, but also put himself in a very passive disadvantage, which is one of the risks and harms of not applying for a patent.
There is no market monopoly, and anyone can imitate or use it.
A good patent with high value can be used by inventors to seek huge benefits for their own development, and even can be used to suppress and deter competitors and form their own market monopoly.
But if you don't apply for a patent in time, once the patent content is known by others, it may lead to imitation or misappropriation by others. In this way, the inventor can not only monopolize the market well, but also become a stepping stone to the development of others and make wedding clothes for others.
3. Others may apply for a patent first.
As we all know, China follows the principle of "patent application comes first", that is, whoever applies for a patent first will be granted the patent right of the same invention first.
If the content of the invention leaks out and someone else applies for a patent first, then the patent right is in the hands of others. The original inventor can't continue to use his invention and creation without authorization from others, so he has no choice but to become a very passive party.
What is the use of applying for a patent? The whole content. Therefore, based on the above risks, in a word, if the enterprise does not apply for or apply for a patent in time for the core technology innovation and invention, it will not only easily make the technology lose the opportunity to obtain a patent because of the lack of novelty after use; If you have any other questions about patent application, please feel free to log in to Intellectual Property for consultation and understanding.
How do I apply for a personal patent? The application process of individual invention patent. The application number of the invention patent application.
