1. If the purpose of applying for a patent is only to obtain a patent authorization certificate, and you don't care about the protection scope of the patent claim, then you can write down the protection scope of the patent, so that the success rate of applying for a patent will be relatively higher and it will be easier to apply for a patent, especially for invention patents. This situation is common in colleges and universities, for example, college teachers need patent certificates to evaluate their professional titles; Or some enterprises need to increase the number of patent applications to obtain high-tech enterprise certification.
2. If the purpose of patent application is to truly protect the company's products and technology, then the requirements for patent application documents will be higher, and high-quality patent application documents need to be provided. These high-quality patents are the core competitiveness of the company and need to be protected from being declared invalid. They can play a role in patent infringement litigation and effectively crack down on patent infringement. Therefore, a lot of patent retrieval, analysis, mining and layout are needed in the early stage of application to improve the value and stability of patents.
3. The type of patent is related to the difficulty of patent application. Generally speaking, it is difficult to apply for a patent for invention, but it is easier to apply for a patent for utility model and design. PCT international patent application is more difficult than domestic patent application. Due to the high cost of PCT application, it is usually submitted after several rounds of screening and evaluation.
