National high-tech enterprises refer to companies that continue to conduct research and development and transform technological achievements within the "high-tech fields supported by key national support" to form core independent intellectual property rights of the enterprise, and carry out business activities on this basis. Resident enterprises registered in China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan). On the basis of defining the scope of high-tech industries, the concept of high-tech enterprises can be obtained from the "Administrative Measures for the Recognition of High-tech Enterprises" revised and issued by the state in 2016 To define.
The high-tech enterprise recognition policy divides intellectual property rights into categories: invention patents, etc. belong to Category I, utility models and appearance patents, etc. belong to Category II. More than 5 Category II intellectual property rights (5- 6 points) is not as high as the score of more than 1 Class I intellectual property rights (7-8 points)! And valid Class I intellectual property rights can be used multiple times for high-tech enterprise declarations, while Class II intellectual property rights can only be used once!
It can be seen that the recognition of invention patents is higher than that of utility model and appearance patent applications. However, is it enough to apply for one or two invention patents for high-tech enterprises?
In fact, this is not the case. Although inventions Patents are very important for the identification of high-tech enterprises, but the number of patents is also very important! Only when the annual average number of scientific and technological achievement transformations in the past three years is ≧5 (1 authorized patent corresponds to 1 scientific and technological achievement transformation) can you get the highest grade score (25 -30 points). Therefore, just one or two invention patents are not enough to obtain the approval of the senior review consultant in the high-tech enterprise certification! In other words, if a company that has been established for more than 3 years wants to get high scores in this part, it is best to You must have at least 15 authorized patents!
Patent matching is also very important! High-end enterprise identification requires the technical relevance and contribution value of patents and enterprise products (services). Your patent content must be consistent with Your product (service) must have played a core supporting role. That is to say, it is useless to just write some irrelevant patents! At the same time, the patents developed by yourself (1-6 points) are better than those given to you by others or those you have developed. Buying someone else's (1-3 points) score is higher.
As an intellectual property project planning and related senior consultant, Hongbang Intellectual Property would also like to remind companies applying for high-tech enterprise certification to pay attention to the following two points!
p>1. Plan the layout of invention patents in advance
Many customers think that the technical content of their research and development is low and they may not be able to pass it after 2-3 years. The invention patent authorization cycle takes about 2 years. , so you need to know how to plan your application in advance!
2. Complete the number of utility model and appearance patents
In addition to invention patents, it is recommended that companies improve product appearance, packaging, R&D and production equipment, etc. Apply for some utility model and appearance patents to increase the number of patents.
