1. What is a patent?

The document records the contents of the invention and creation, and in a certain period of time, a legal state has emerged, that is, under normal circumstances, a patented invention and creation can only be implemented by others with the permission of the patentee.

Second, the importance of intellectual property to enterprises.

Patent is a part of intellectual property, which plays a very important role in promoting the development of enterprises.

1. Only by strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights can we ensure the business safety of enterprises. Enterprises, especially scientific and technological enterprises, are mostly at the forefront of technological innovation, and produce products suitable for market demand through scientific and technological research and development. Strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights can enable enterprises to enjoy the market benefits brought by intellectual property rights, avoid the loss of intellectual property rights, avoid the risk of infringement and ensure the safety of enterprises.

2. Strengthening intellectual property rights can ensure the safety of enterprises' investment in R&D.. When conducting scientific research projects and independent R&D, enterprises can keep abreast of the status of intellectual property rights in their fields through the analysis and utilization of intellectual property information, so as to avoid infringing on the prior rights of others, resulting in "ineffective" R&D and wasting manpower, material resources and financial resources.

3. Strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights can increase the added value of products in the market. By producing and selling independent intellectual property products, enterprises can enhance their corporate image, enhance their market competitiveness, and even gain the right to speak in market pricing.

Strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights can improve the position of enterprises in joint ventures and business negotiations. Enterprises can use independent intellectual property rights to increase capital and share, pledge financing, license use, and establish industrial alliances. To improve their position in joint ventures and business negotiations.

Whether it is a trademark or a patent, everyone should have a sense of intellectual property protection. With the change of patent application subsidy policy, Intellectual Property suggests that you apply for a patent as soon as possible.
