Is it better to apply for a patent in the name of an individual or a company?
There is no difference in the review process, application time limit and application difficulty between individuals and companies. \x0d\ Personal application belongs to individuals and has nothing to do with the company. Personal application for service invention is likely to cause patent ownership disputes; The rights and interests applied by the company belong to the company, and there is no ownership dispute. It is relatively easy to operate in identifying high-tech enterprises and listing companies. \x0d\ Individual applicants can enjoy reduction or exemption if they are in financial difficulties. The annual fee paid in the first three years is reduced or exempted, as long as they pay15%; It is more expensive for companies to apply, but they can enjoy government subsidies in some areas. \x0d\ Personal application is not conducive to brand promotion, while company application is beneficial to corporate brand promotion and later financing. \x0d\ Individual applications can be exempted, and some of them are subsidized by the district government; Companies can enjoy government subsidies, preferential evaluation, declaration of high-tech enterprises and patent pledge in some fields. \x0d\ From the cost point of view, individual application seems to be better, but if it is an enterprise, it is better to apply in the name of the company in the long run (new intellectual property rights).
