First of all, we must seize the time of patent application. Because patents have the principle of "first come, first served", generally speaking, the time to apply for patents should be sooner rather than later, and obtaining patents (or even application numbers) as soon as possible will win business opportunities as soon as possible. Patent work should start at the early stage of product development, and it is best to submit the application documents before the trial production is completed and put on the market. If the product needs to be further improved after it is put on the market, that is, the so-called second-generation and third-generation products are launched, then we can add new patents and put forward new claims on the basis of the original application. At this time, we still enjoy the advantage of "first come, first served", that is, in similar patent applications, those who have applied for related patents have priority.
Some enterprises keep a low profile in patent application, for fear that their core technology will be mastered and copied by the same industry at the same time when the patent is announced, which is not conducive to improving the market share of their products. This has entered the misunderstanding of intellectual property protection. We must believe that the market competition mechanism is developing in the direction of "fairness, justice and openness". Our patent announcement is not convenient for counterfeiters, but more effective in cracking down on unfair competitors such as infringement.
The second step is to determine the way of enterprise patent application. First, the patent is applied by the enterprise itself, that is, the patent documents are written by the internal staff of the enterprise, and then directly submitted to the local or China National Intellectual Property Administration Patent Office in written or electronic form for acceptance; Second, enterprises entrust patents to intellectual property agencies, and patent documents are written and submitted by patent agents; Third, the patent application is completed by the cooperation between the enterprise and the intellectual property agency, which plays the role of consultation and service, while the patent documents are written and revised by the professional and technical personnel within the enterprise under the guidance of the agency.
