Several common ways of patent fraud

Deception 1: defrauding the evaluation fee by winning the patent. In this form of fraud, the patentee usually receives the award notice, is told that his invention has won a major award, and requires the patentee to pay a certain amount of award-winning evaluation fee, certificate fee, etc. To the designated bank account. After paying the fee, you will get the award-winning certificate and the national science and technology transformation fund. Deception 2: defrauding service fees in the name of technology transfer intermediary. Usually, after the inventor's patent is published in the patent announcement, he will receive letters from some intermediaries saying that he can help the inventor transform the patent, but he needs to pay a certain service fee. After the inventor paid the money, there was either no news or he did introduce the company, but the company would tell him that the patented technology was not needed at all. Deception 3: defrauding the evaluation fee in the name of investment. At present, many intermediaries and evaluation agencies collude with fraudsters, under the guise of international investment groups, to lure patentees with high returns and defraud money. In this case, the patentee must be calm and not let his guard down because of the "big head" of international investment institutions. Deception 4: defrauding the participation fees in the form of exhibitions and patent matchmaking meetings. Taking advantage of the inventor's eagerness to transfer his patent to the enterprise, some lawless elements defrauded exhibition fees and other expenses under the guise of "invention fair" and "patent matchmaking meeting" In this kind of deception, swindlers usually send letters to inventors under the banner of "XX International Organization", "XX Invention Association" and "XX Science and Technology Association", telling them to hold "XX International Invention Expo" at a certain time and place, and hundreds or even thousands of well-known enterprises and institutions at home and abroad will attend the meeting to look for investment projects. After the investment intention is confirmed, the sponsors can assist in signing the letter of intent for investment. Booth fees and room and board fees range from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan. When the inventors pay, some of them may not be heard from. Some did hold exhibitions, but the scale and actual effect of the exhibitions were greatly reduced. Deception 5: defrauding publishing fees in the form of publishing books. The swindler also seized the psychology of ordinary people wanting to be famous and sent a letter to the inventor, claiming that you have been included in XXX Daquan, XXX Grand Ceremony, XXX International Who's Who and so on because of your excellent patented technology. After publication, these books can be used as the basis for future patent transfer. But the inventor has to pay a certain publishing fee. But in fact, such books have no value after publication and will not be recognized by the state and society. There is no point in printing as many books as there are people who spend money on them.
