Detailed explanation of Nanjing patent application process

People can put their whimsy into action and present it in the form of invention and creation, but if their efforts are to be protected by law, they need to apply for a patent right. So, what is the patent application process in Nanjing? Let me introduce it to you.

1. Filling and Writing of Nanjing Patent Application Documents

There are specific requirements for the filling and writing of Nanjing patent application documents. The applicant can fill in or write by himself, or entrust a patent agency to handle it on his behalf. Although it is not mandatory to entrust a patent agency, considering the importance of carefully writing Nanjing patent application documents and the legal rigor of patent examination and approval procedures, entrusting a patent agency is undoubtedly the best choice for applicants with little experience.
