Is patent application a necessary procedure for obtaining patent right?

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 basically the same. Invention patent: you can apply for an invention patent for a new technical scheme proposed for a product or method or for the improvement of a product or method; Patent for utility model: you can apply for a patent for utility model for a new technical scheme that is suitable for practical use according to the shape, structure or combination of products; Design patent: A new design with aesthetic feeling and suitable for industrial application can be applied for the shape, pattern or their combination of products and the combination of color and shape and pattern.

Benefits of patent application: As an intangible asset, patent has great commercial value and is an important means to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. It is the basis for enterprises to apply for patents on scientific research achievements. The quality and quantity of patents are the embodiment of enterprise's innovation ability and core competitiveness, and the symbol of enterprise's identity and position in this industry. Enterprises can gain long-term benefits by applying the patent system. Patent ownership by enterprises is a necessary prerequisite for declaring various scientific and technological plans and projects such as high-tech enterprises and innovation funds. There are specific requirements for the filling and writing of patent application documents, and the applicant can fill in and write them by himself or entrust a patent agency to handle them on his behalf. Although it is not mandatory to entrust a patent agency, considering the importance of carefully writing patent application documents and the legal rigor of examination and approval procedures, it is worth promoting for applicants with little experience. After receiving the patent application, the Patent Office's acceptance office or the Patent Office's agency shall determine the application date, give the application number and issue a notice of acceptance for the application that meets the acceptance conditions. The application fee and other fees can be paid directly to the toll office or agency of the Patent Office, or remitted through the bank or post office. At present, banks use electronic transfer and post offices use electronic remittance. When paying the patent fee through the post office or bank, the payer shall indicate the correct application number or patent number on the money order, and shall abbreviate the name of the payer. The remitter should ask the bank or post office staff to enter the above payment information in the remittance postscript column. If you remit money through the post office, you should also ask the post office staff to enter the complete mailing address, including the postal code, which will play an important role in future procedures. Fees shall not be sent to the Patent Office.
