A patent application is a necessary procedure for obtaining a patent right. To obtain a patent right, the applicant shall file an application with the State Patent Office, which shall approve it and issue a certificate. When filing a patent application with the national patent office, the applicant should also submit a series of application documents, such as the request, specification, abstract and patent claim, etc. In terms of patent application, the provisions of the patent laws of all countries in the world are basically the same.
II. Classification of patent applications
Invention patents: you can apply for invention patents for new technical solutions put forward for products, methods or improvements of products and methods;
patent for utility model: you can apply for a patent for utility model for a new technical scheme proposed for the shape, structure or combination of products; Patents belong to speculative assets among assets. If you apply for patents purely for investment, you expect to get greater returns. That's the same as the nature of your investment in buying lottery tickets. Whether you can get benefits or not depends largely on luck.
from the perspective of financial planning, the allocation of speculative assets is not recommended to exceed 5% of total assets.
For ordinary people, it's perfectly ok not to allocate speculative assets. After all, no one can be sure of luck.
For an enterprise, a patent is just like your supplier. What it is good at is icing on the cake, and the last thing it can do is to give timely help.
patent for design: you can apply for a patent for design for a new design that is aesthetically pleasing and suitable for industrial application, aiming at the shape, pattern or their combination, and the combination of color, shape and pattern of a product.
