Step 1: Prepare the application documents. Utility models and inventions include requests, specifications, claims, attached drawings of specifications and abstract of specifications. A patent for design shall contain a request, a picture or photograph and a brief explanation.
Step 2: Submit the materials. You can choose two ways to submit materials.
1, go directly to the lobby of the patent office or the local patent agency window.
2. Submit by email.
The third step is that the State Patent Office issues an acceptance notice, which means that the patent application formally enters the examination and approval procedure.
Step 4: Pay the application fee. In addition to paying directly at the toll office and agency of the Patent Office, you can also pay the application fee by remittance from the bank or post office. Pay attention to the payment within 15 working days from the date of receiving the admission notice. After that, the Patent Office will conduct a preliminary examination of the application. For patent applications other than inventions, as long as they pass the preliminary examination, they can grant patents, and unqualified amendments can be resubmitted. Finally, after the approval of China National Intellectual Property Administration, the patent right can be granted.
Income from patent right transfer.
Once a patent is authorized, it means that the applicant is the patentee of the patent and enjoys the benefits brought by the patent. Patent right can be transferred, because as a part of intangible assets, patent has certain property attributes and can be transferred through necessary legal procedures, so as to enjoy the benefits brought by patent right.
On the other hand, many enterprises or individuals, once they find valuable patents, will also buy related patents in order to play a greater role. Therefore, once you have the patent authorization, you can share the benefits by transferring the ownership of the patent.
