The application process for intellectual property demonstration enterprises is divided into 6 steps. The following is a detailed introduction:
1. Applicants need to prepare original technical materials and provide relevant information about the unit. 2. Select and entrust a professional patent agency and sign an agency agreement with it. The agency will carefully draft patent application documents in accordance with the requirements of patent law. If necessary, a patent search can be conducted in advance to ensure the originality and validity of the application. 3. Submit the prepared patent application documents to the National Patent Office. After successful submission, you will receive a unique patent application number. At the same time, patent application fees must be paid in accordance with relevant regulations to ensure the smooth progress of the application. 4. In the preliminary examination stage, once the examination is passed, the invention patent application will be published in the patent gazette and official website eighteen months from the application date. Applicants may also choose to make a request for early disclosure based on actual needs within fifteen months from the date of application. 5. During the substantive examination stage, the applicant has the right to submit a request for substantive examination to the Patent Office at any time within three years from the date of application or after the patent application is published. When submitting a substantive examination, you must pay patent substantive examination fees in accordance with regulations. 6. After strict substantive examination, if the patent meets the requirements of practicality, novelty and creativity of the invention, the Patent Office will grant the patent right. At this time, the applicant needs to pay the patent maintenance fee, annual fee, printing fee and certificate production fee in accordance with relevant regulations, and then obtain the invention patent certificate. At the same time, authorized invention patents will be announced through official channels.
Intellectual property rights are “the collective term for rights generated by law based on creative achievements and industrial and commercial marks.” The three most important intellectual property rights are copyright, patent rights and trademark rights. Patent rights and trademark rights are also collectively referred to as industrial property rights.
