1. What are the three types of patents in China?
Domestic patent classification is mainly divided into three categories:
1. design patent: design refers to a new design with aesthetic feeling and suitable for industrial application, and refers to the shape, pattern or combination of products and the combination of colors, shapes and patterns. Generally speaking, all original designs involving product appearance can apply for design patents, and the protection period of design patents is currently 10 years. After June 2002 1 year/day, the protection period of design patent was extended from1year to1year.
2. Patent for utility model: Utility model refers to a new technical scheme suitable for practical use proposed by the pointer for the shape, structure or combination of products. The protection period of utility model patent is 10 year.
3. Invention patent: Invention refers to a new technical scheme proposed for a product, method or its improvement. Unlike utility model patents, invention patents can be both products and methods, while utility model patents must be products. The protection period of invention patent is the longest in domestic patent classification, which is as long as 20 years.
Second, what is the content of the patent right?
1. Exclusive right to use: refers to the exclusive right of the patentee to produce, sell or use his patented product or patented method according to law;
2. Import right: refers to the right enjoyed by the patentee to prohibit others from importing patented products for commercial purposes without permission or authorization;

At present, there are two ways to apply for a patent in China, one is to entrust a legally established patent agency to handle it, and the other is to submit the application materials by yourself. Due to the quality of application documents, time cost, application experience and other factors, most people will choose an agency to apply on their behalf. After all, the difference in success rate between the two is too far. Who doesn't like waiting for the certificate?
