Detailed explanation: What does a patent agency include? In order to save the process of applying for a patent abroad, it is necessary to have a patent agent, but China's patent law has made relevant provisions on the content of a patent agent: 1. Documents and related materials required by the patent agent 1, and the necessary information about the patent to be represented mainly includes the invention name, inventor's name, address and nationality, applicant's name, address and nationality. It is also necessary to indicate whether the invention patent is required to be disclosed in advance, and whether it is required to provide key information for substantive examination at the same time as submitting the application. 2. Technology disclosure Technology disclosure includes the name of the invention, the technical field involved in the invention, the present situation of the technical field, the purpose of the invention patent, the technical scheme that can be realized, and the implementation effect of the technology. If necessary, drawings can be provided to explain the invention. Two. Matters needing attention and related explanations of patent agency 1. Description (1) For methods or substances with no fixed shape, you can only apply for invention patents, not utility model patents. Utility model is a new practical technical scheme for the shape, structure or combination of products, and invention patent is a method and technology created to solve a practical need. ② According to the contents of technical disclosure, the application documents written by the agent shall include: patent specification, patent claim, abstract and attached drawings. Under normal circumstances, before submitting the application documents to the Patent Office, the agent needs to review and check whether the contents of the application documents are correct. 2. Procedure Description ① An invention patent shall be requested for substantive examination at any time within three years from the date of application, and the substantive examination fee shall be paid for requesting substantive examination. (2) After receiving the Notice of Authorization and the Notice of Registration, the applicant shall go through the registration formalities and pay the prescribed fees in accordance with the requirements of the Notice within the specified time. Failing to go through the registration formalities according to the regulations or failing to do so within the time limit, it shall be deemed as giving up the patent right. ③ After the patent right is granted, the patentee needs to pay the annual patent fee every year; After the deadline, there is usually a half-year overdue period. During this period, you can still pay the annual fee, but you have to pay the late fee. However, if the annual patent fee is not paid or the annual patent fee and late payment fee of this year are not paid in full at the expiration of the annual patent fee, the patent right shall be terminated from the expiration of the previous year. The above is the content of patent agency.
