What is patent inquiry?

Patent inquiry is a procedure before patent application, and an effective search report can make the applicant avoid that the rights required for protection are not the same or similar to those of the previous patent application, and ensure that the applied patent is effective. Related introduction: Patent inquiry includes using all kinds of commonly used patent retrieval tools and mastering commonly used retrieval methods. Commonly used retrieval tools include: all kinds of patent reference books, such as patent classification table, patent abstract, patent document announcement, patentee index, patent announcement, etc. Searching for patents can be classified by patents or inventors.

According to the provisions of Article 3 of China's Patent Law, the patent administrative department of the State Council is responsible for the management of patent work throughout the country; Accept and examine patent applications in a unified manner and grant patent rights according to law. The departments for patent administration under the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall be responsible for patent administration within their respective administrative areas.

Patent research and application should not be lucky. According to incomplete statistics, countries lose the value of research topics because they have not consulted patent documents, resulting in billions of losses every year and even more indirect losses. During the Seventh Five-Year Plan period in China, about two-thirds of the nearly 10,000 topics of mass enterprises were repeated studies. Patent retrieval has become a bridge between patentees and enterprises, and has made immortal contributions to the promotion of patent transformation. The patentee only needs to provide the patent name; The name of the patentee; Patent number, etc. Enterprises can query the authenticity and legal status of patents through patent search.
