The difference between first-class and second-class invention patents

One kind of invention is authorized invention patent, and the other is utility model patent.

I. A Class of Invention Patents

1, invention patent

As we all know, it is a difficult and long thing to apply for an invention patent. Many enterprises choose to transfer from the head office or other channels. In the high-level evaluation scoring system, the score of patent transfer must be less than that of independent application. Enterprises can conduct comprehensive analysis before applying for high technology, and then consider whether to apply for or transfer authorization.

2, new plant varieties, national crop varieties, national new drugs, national first-class Chinese medicine protection varieties and integrated circuit layout design exclusive rights.

These are not common in high-level appraisal, and enterprises with this qualification can easily and resolutely solve the problem of insufficient intellectual property rights.

The second category and the second category of invention patents

1, utility model patent

The examination period of utility model has been extended by 7- 14 months, and the application cannot be authorized. The application should be started at least 1 year in advance.

2. Design patents

Whether appearance patents can be used to declare high-quality certification has always been controversial. In fact, appearance patents are not excluded from the scope of intellectual property rights recognized by high-quality certification, and can be used to declare, but the "gold content" needs textual research.

3. Software copyright

Software copyright is the most common in high recognition, and it is favored by enterprises because of its low application threshold and short certification period. If the enterprise's products really have nothing to do with software, don't make a fuss.

Extended data:

Inventions mentioned in the patent law can be divided into product inventions (such as machines, instruments, equipment and appliances) and method inventions (manufacturing methods).

Inventions in some technical fields are not patented, such as diagnosis and treatment of diseases and substances obtained by nuclear transformation.

The invention of computer software depends on whether it belongs to simple computer software or special software that can be combined with hardware and treated differently. The latter can apply for patent protection. As for inventions involving microorganisms, you can also apply for invention patents. However, the certificate of microbial preservation shall be submitted on schedule.
