Can I apply for a patent directly with "China National Intellectual Property Administration Electronic Application Business Processing Platform" without cpc client?

Correction 20 19. 1 1, see the title at the back to add "The platform actually has the function of editing and submitting application documents, but the requirements for the version of system software and office software are a bit harsh and the settings are complicated. However, when submitting the invention patent application, the automatic receipt document and the payment notice were immediately obtained. This online platform seems to be more powerful and responsive than CPC client. Now all applications of cPc client can be converted to this online platform.

If a private person applies for a small number of questions, you can try the main method, but in large quantities, such as companies or agencies, it is definitely more stable and safer to use the client, but the website and the client are a bit difficult to use. The National Information Bureau has not been updated for N years, and it is an old system left over from the xp era. I don't know what they think, but the function and convenience of the client are generally good.

You can only register users on the website. The next step is for you to download the client:

First, go through the user registration procedures and get the user code and password;

(2) Log on to the electronic application website, download and install the digital certificate and client software;

(3) the network configuration and upgrade program of the client;

(4) Making and editing electronic application documents;

(5) signing electronic application documents with digital certificates;

(6) Submit electronic application documents;

(7) receiving electronic receipts;

(8) After submitting the application, you can log on to the electronic application website at any time to inquire about the relevant information of the electronic application;

(nine) to receive the notice through the electronic application system and submit the intermediate documents that have been submitted for electronic application.
