College students have a little idea. Should they discuss with their teachers whether they can apply for a patent? Will it be stolen?

You now have the idea of ??applying for a patent. Your thinking is very advanced and progressive. At that time, I didn’t know what a patent was.

1. You can discuss it with the teacher. I think most teachers will not steal it. If the teacher can supplement your idea and make it more substantial, you can regard yourself as the first inventor and the teacher as the second inventor. When applying for a patent, only provide the ID number of the first inventor, and when you go out to find a job, just say that you own the patent and that you are the first inventor.

2. Applying for a patent costs money. Even if you write the patent yourself, you still need to pay application fees and other official fees. If you let an agent write it, you also need to pay the agency fee. You are Do you want to spend your own money to apply as an applicant?

3. Companies generally have such regulations. If you apply for a patent because you are doing your own job or doing projects provided by the company, it is a service invention. Then the patent applicant is the company, that is, after the patent is authorized, the patentee It's a company. I don't know if your school is like this. You'd better ask to see if the school wants to be the applicant. If so, you can just be the inventor. The fees are paid by the applicant, that is He said that if the school is the patent applicant, the school will just pay you.
