At present, in the case of strong patent demand, all kinds of patent transactions are progressing smoothly. With the development of the network, patent transactions are mostly conducted online, which speeds up the convenience, breaks the regionality and contributes to the flattening of transactions. However, the characteristics of the network have caused some risks in the process of patent trading, and patent traders need to consider and pay attention to avoiding these risks.
The risks of patent trading are generally divided into three types:
1, risks of technical disclosure:
Because of its uniqueness, patented technology often has certain confidentiality, and a good idea and a good scheme often have sufficient value. Once it is made public or obtained by others, there is a risk of leakage. This is also what many inventors are worried about. Once a technology is known to others, will it be stolen or even become the result of others?
2. Risk of irrecoverable funds:
For traders, if money transactions are involved, they will worry that they will not receive money after the information is given out. In particular, some institutions take the way of giving goods first and then giving money. Such institutions can not pay in time, resulting in the risk that funds can not be recovered. There are many fields of patent writing, and for some authors, there is a risk of not receiving funds. This risk also exists in patent transfer transactions.
3. Risks of invalid collection:
For some people who pay people to do things, poor work is their risk. It is difficult to generalize the factors of poor work, which are influenced by many factors. What I want to talk about here is the kind of thing that disappears after taking money, or that has been concealed after taking money and making obvious mistakes. Because the writing, application and transfer of patents need to be reviewed by the patent office and finally confirmed by the government, this process takes as little as one week and as many as several years. In this process, once something that can't achieve the goal happens, there will be corresponding risks, such as the patent commitment authorization being rejected, the patent commitment being qualified but the change is wrong, leading to the missed deadline and so on. There are more uncertainties and greater risks in patent cooperative development.
