We need to know the types of patents, which are divided into: invention patents, utility model patents and design patents. The difficulty of applying for these three patents is: invention patent, utility model patent and design patent, so the price of applying for invention patent will be much more expensive, then utility model patent and finally design patent. Of course, it is expensive for a reason. In many cases, the project will use invention patents. The patent application process is nothing more than preparing the relevant materials first and then submitting the application.
The materials required to apply for a patent for invention are:
1, the name of the invention patent;
2, the invention patent belongs to the technical field and background technology;
3. Accomplish the purpose of the present invention;
4. Technical scheme for achieving the purpose of the invention;
5. Attached drawings (inventions in the field of machinery must have attached drawings): you can clearly see the structure of the product and distinguish the connection relationship of each part, but you can make exploded views, sectional views, etc. ;
6. Specific embodiment (Complete the specific embodiment of the present invention);
7. The best effect that the invention can achieve;
8. The applicant needs the seal of the unit; Personal signature of the applicant for personal needs;
9. A copy of the business license required by the applicant; If the applicant is an individual, a copy of the personal identity card is required;
10, providing the applicant's name, detailed address, telephone number, postcode, designer's name and other clear materials.
After preparing relevant materials, submit them to the Intellectual Property Office. The process is roughly as follows: the obligee submits the materials and pays the relevant fees. The Patent Office accepts the application published by the Patent Office of first instance, and the obligee submits it to the Patent Office for substantive examination and authorization. Of course, this is only a rough process. Relatively speaking, it will be a lot of trouble if you want to apply for a patent yourself, but it will be relatively simple if you submit it to a patent agency. You can apply for authorization at any time as long as you submit it to them for technical disclosure. Of course, it doesn't matter if there is no technical disclosure, or you can always wait for authorization.
Second, the patent fee standard
There are two kinds of patent fees, one is the official fee charged by the patent office, and the other is the agency fee charged by the agency. The official fee charged by the Patent Office is 3450 (including 950 for filing and 2500 for substantive examination). The standard official fee for utility model patent and design patent application is 500 yuan, and the annual fee of 205 yuan and the year of authorization are also required when authorizing registration. Agency fees The fees charged by each patent agency are different, some are more expensive and some are cheaper, depending on how you negotiate with the agency.
Hope to adopt, thank you.
