What is the definition of a patent application? Patent application is a necessary procedure for obtaining patent right. To obtain a patent right, the applicant shall file an application with the State Patent Office, which shall approve and issue a certificate. When filing a patent application with the State Patent Office, the applicant shall also submit a series of application documents, such as the request, specification, abstract and patent claim. In terms of patent application, the provisions of the patent laws of all countries in the world are relatively consistent, but there are also many differences. A patent application is a request made by an inventor, designer or other subject who has the right to apply to the Patent Office for a patent right for invention or design. According to the provisions of China's patent law, an application for a patent shall submit an application, specification, patent claim, abstract, drawings and a request for priority to the Patent Office. Among them, the appended drawings and priority claims are not essential to every application, but they are beneficial to patent applications. A patent application shall be in written form, mainly including the following contents: the request, the name of the invention or design, the name and identity of the applicant, the name and identity of the agent and the signature. What is the significance of patent application? 1. It refers to the necessary procedures for obtaining a patent right. An invention-creation must be submitted by the applicant to a government department (in China, at present, China National Intellectual Property Administration, the People's Republic of China), and the patent right can only be obtained after being examined and approved by People's Republic of China (PRC) and China National Intellectual Property Administration according to legal procedures. In China, there are currently three types of inventions, namely, inventions, utility models and designs. This meaning is similar to "applying for a patent". Please refer to the entry "Patent Application". 2 refers to the state of having applied for a patent but not obtaining a patent right. In this sense, it is necessary to pay attention to the difference between "patent" and "patent application". In daily life, people sometimes confuse the concepts of "patent" and "patent application". For example, some people claim that they have a patent before their patent application is authorized. In fact, a patent application can only be called a patent application before it is authorized. If it is finally authorized, it can be called a patent and enjoy the exclusive right to use the technical scope it requests to protect. If it is not authorized by a patent, it will never have a chance to become a patent. That is to say, although he submitted a patent application, he did not obtain the exclusive right to use the technical scope he requested to protect. Obviously, the gap between the two results represented by these two concepts is huge. In the patent application stage, according to the different types of patents, it can be called invention patent application, utility model patent application and design patent application respectively. After being authorized, they are called invention patent, utility model patent and design patent respectively. At this point, the patent applicant is the patentee of the corresponding patent. Patent application is a necessary practice, a respect for the achievements of one's own workers, and a guarantee for one's own rights and interests. Applying for a patent requires a certain process and a certain fee. Shanghai municipal government will give some subsidies to citizens who apply for patents in the three processes, which shows that it attaches importance to patent application.
