1, products and technologies before exposure
In the process of publishing papers, participating in exhibitions, inviting peers to observe and study, and providing technical solutions in bidding, technical achievements may be stolen by peers. Therefore, before the disclosure of technological achievements, the applicant should first protect the technology that may be disclosed.
2. Before the product update is released.
When improving the performance of mature goods, the patent protection of the improved part is often ignored. However, these small improvements are designed for "user pain points" and may bring very considerable market benefits. At this time, we should pay more attention to improving the patent protection of technical solutions. For these small innovations that may be overlooked, we must be prepared before the product is released.
3. when you are in a fierce game with your opponent.
In the process of fierce competition with competitors, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive patent layout in the core technology field as soon as possible, which may determine the success or failure of the enterprise!
4. Before the company goes public
Companies will be subject to various audits and public attention before and after listing, and may be interfered by patent infringement/ownership litigation. Official Reply of the Company's Public Offering of Shares-The approval of the initial public offering of the company's shares and the latest approval of the initial listing of the main board and small and medium-sized board issued by the CSRC clearly stipulate that the issuer shall issue shares within 65,438+02 months from the date of approval of the issuance by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
However, the period of patent litigation may be as long as several years, and the result is uncertain. Once the quasi-listed company is suspected of infringement or faces huge compensation, it may shake investors' confidence and delay listing.
Especially for high-tech enterprises and small and medium-sized technological innovation enterprises, the core technology will be questioned and will face a fatal blow. Therefore, in order to prevent the interference of unfavorable factors such as patent litigation, enterprises should do a good job of patent protection before listing.
5. Before the products are exported
Patents are regional. If you don't apply for a patent in the country where the product is about to be exported, the product can't be protected locally, and there is a risk of infringing the patent rights of competitors. At present, many products are going abroad to explore the world market, but before the products are introduced to the international market, patent protection must be done well.
