Why should a patent application be entrusted to an agency?

Maybe everyone's understanding of patents is invention and creation. When you have an invention, you want to apply for a patent, but you find that you don't understand a lot of things. Do you know why you should entrust an agency to apply for a patent? What kind of invention can be patented? How long is the duration of patent protection? Let's take a look with Bian Xiao. Why should a patent application be entrusted to an agency? Why should a patent application be entrusted to an agency? 1. The average inventor probably won't apply for a patent, and he doesn't know the patent application process and the required materials, and he doesn't know how to deal with things such as replacement and rejection. Probably because he is not familiar with patent application, and the agency is experienced, the success rate of patent application can be greatly improved. 2. Legal rights can be effectively protected. The scope of protection of the patent right is not determined by the invention itself, but by the description of the claims. If the scope of protection of the invention is written too wide in the patent claim, it may affect the authorization of the patent, while if the scope of protection is written too narrow in the patent claim, the legitimate rights of the inventor cannot be effectively protected. Therefore, writing such technical legal documents requires both a deep understanding of invention and creation and rich experience in writing application documents. General inventors don't have this ability, but agencies can provide effective help. 3. Save effort to entrust a patent agency, instead of going to the Intellectual Property Office to submit an application in person, just provide information to the patent agency to wait for the issuance of the patent certificate, which can be said to be very time-saving and labor-saving. 4. The patent application can be supervised, and the annual patent fee needs to be paid on time. Failure to pay may lead to the termination of the patent right. Patent agencies can closely monitor the legal payment date of patents through management software, effectively manage patent files, and ensure that patent applicants will not cause losses due to negligence. What kind of invention can be patented? Inventions and utility models granted patent rights should be novel, creative and practical. How long is the duration of patent protection? The term of protection of the invention patent is 20 years from the date of application. The protection period of utility model and design patent is: from the date of application 10 year.
