What is the national patent application agency?

1. What is the national patent application agency? Patent agency refers to a civil legal act in which a patent applicant (or patentee) entrusts a person with the qualification of patent agent to work in a patent agency officially authorized by the Patent Office as an entrusted agent to apply for a patent or other patents in the name of the principal. Patent agency also includes that the patent agent accepts the entrustment of the claimant for invalidation of the patent right, and the reexamination board, as the entrusted agent, handles matters related to the request for invalidation of the patent right in the name of the client within the entrusted authority. How long does it take to apply for a patent? After receiving an application for a patent for invention, the administrative department for patent in the State Council, after preliminary examination, finds that it conforms to the provisions of this Law, and shall publish it after 18 months from the date of filing. The patent administration department of the State Council may publish its application at an early date upon the request of the applicant. Within three years from the date of filing, the patent administration department of the State Council may conduct substantive examination according to the request made by the applicant at any time; If the applicant fails to request substantive examination within the time limit without justifiable reasons, the application shall be deemed to have been withdrawn. Second, how much is the invention patent application? An application for a patent for invention needs to be made public first, and then examined in substance. Finally, the patent right can only be granted if it is found that it does not conform to the provisions of the patent law or the detailed rules for the implementation of the patent law. Therefore, the cost of an invention patent in the application stage includes the application fee: 900 yuan, the publishing and printing fee of 50 yuan, and the substantive examination fee of 2500 yuan. If the invention patent is entrusted to a patent agency, the agency fee is 5000-8000 yuan. When the invention is authorized, the certificate fee of 205 yuan and the annual fee of the year of authorization are required. At present, the application fee, substantive examination fee and annual fee for the first three years of invention patent authorization in China are delayed by 85% for individuals and 70% for companies. Three. What is a patent for utility model ① With regard to utility model, some countries do not list it as an independent patent protection object, but protect it in invention patents. In other countries, utility model is listed as an independent object of patent protection, which mainly refers to small inventions. The reason why the state protects utility models is to encourage small inventions with low cost and short development cycle, so as to meet the needs of economic development more quickly. (2) The Paris Convention does not stipulate the concept of utility model, but stipulates that utility model enjoys the benefit of invention patent. The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights also does not separately stipulate the patent types of utility models. China's patent law clearly regards utility model as one of the objects of patent protection, and stipulates that utility model patent refers to a new practical technical scheme proposed for the shape, structure or combination of products. The technical scheme is lower than the invention patent in technical level. Patent Law Article 2 Invention-creation as mentioned in this Law refers to inventions, utility models and designs. Invention refers to a new technical scheme proposed for a product, method or its improvement. Utility model refers to a new practical technical scheme for the shape, structure or combination of products. Appearance design refers to a new design with aesthetic feeling and suitable for industrial application based on the shape, pattern or combination of products and the combination of colors, shapes and patterns. As an enterprise, only when we have our own patent rights can our operating results be protected by national laws. Once we have a patent, we can use it to protect our own technology and products, and also to combat the infringement of our opponents. Although it takes a long time to apply for a patent and the procedure is troublesome, it is simple and convenient to find a national patent application agency.
