I have my own patent, but my patent is also an agent. As we all know, there is a publicity period of 18 months from the formal application to the entry into force of a patent. In the meantime, there are many documents to fill in and many functions to elaborate. At the same time, the scope of patent application should be covered as much as possible to obtain the greatest protection benefits.
It is not easy for designers to turn a good idea into a new design. But I believe that few designers are skilled in filling out patent documents themselves. At this time, a good patent agent is needed.
Patent agents must first understand this industry, so if you have a mechanical background, it is very, very advantageous. You should give full play to your listening skills, because you don't understand each other's design intentions. You must find the core content of the technology through the limited words of the other party, which are generally recorded in the technical disclosure book and in the process of communicating with the other party. Only by fully understanding the technical core of this patent can you effectively organize the language and protect the design as much as possible.
I can give you an example. Of course, this example is inappropriate because it violates the basic principles of patent application, but it can be used as a reference:
If you design a table, four legs and a desktop. If you are the first person to design a table, then you can apply for a patent. You write down the appearance and function of the table in the technical disclosure book and then give it to the agent. What does the agent want? To protect your design.
How to protect, the simplest one, the agent will not say that your product is called a four-legged table, but should say:
"The designer's products cover products that support a plane with four legs and realize the function of a table."
Then once it is successful, others will not be able to design a four-legged table in the future.
A more successful agent would write:
"The designer's products cover products that support a plane with a bracket and realize the function of a table."
Then once it is successful (of course, the patent office will not pass this description), the table designed by others will have no legs in the future.
It can be seen that a good agent, after fully understanding the design, can bring huge benefits to the patent inventor, while a poor agent, the patent is written and not written. Almost all large companies have a person or team responsible for patent evasion. A good agent will not easily let others evade patents.
And I personally think this job is a clerical job, which is very suitable for girls. Besides, it won't be boring. You can often see all kinds of strange things, which should be very interesting, and the work intensity is not great, so you won't be very tired. You can have a try.
