2. Application process. Applicants must first make clear what type of patent they are applying for, and then they can search for the same type of patent. College students can complete this step by themselves, or entrust an agency to conduct a more comprehensive search, which is also a process that has to be carried out to ensure the uniqueness of patents.
3. Submit the application. Prepare the relevant materials, determine the application type, and after completing the search, the applicant can directly submit and enter the application step. If the steps before submission have not been completed, the applicant must carefully check whether there are any mistakes in the whole process and solve the related problems in time in order to make the final submission. After the successful submission, if it passes the examination, then the applicant can get the admission notice.
Matters needing attention in applying for invention patent
Because the novelty and creativity of patent application are related to the filing date, the later the application, the greater the chance that this technology will be made public by others. The patent right is granted to the person who applies first. It may just be that the application date is one day later than others, and the 20 years after the early application shall prevail.
The quality requirement of patent is "no best, only better", because as long as someone can overturn your patent, it means that you have given up all your efforts. The division of labor is becoming more and more detailed, mainly because there is specialization in the industry. So, don't try to deal with problems that you are not good at.
