The function of patent evaluation report

(1) Its role in customs filing. Customs filing of intellectual property rights is beneficial for customs departments to take the initiative to seize suspected infringing articles in their daily work. The patentee provides a patent evaluation report at the time of filing, and the customs has more confidence in its seizure based on its trust in the legal stability of the patent. (two) the role in the Canton Fair or other exhibitions. When the patentee voluntarily provides the patent evaluation report, the intellectual property management departments at the Canton Fair and other exhibitions can more actively accept complaints and reject the relevant defenses of the suspected infringer. (three) the role in patent licensing, pledge, transfer and shareholding. Under the above-mentioned usage mode of patent right, the licensee, pledgee, assignee and relevant interested parties of patent right are more likely to reach a transaction with the patentee and reduce the transaction time. (four) the role in patent administrative complaints. The patent administration department will ask the complainant to provide a patent evaluation report. Once the infringement is found, the patentee will ask the State Council to issue a patent evaluation report. Considering that it takes more than two months to issue an evaluation report, it will bring unnecessary waiting for timely infringement. (5) Its role in patent infringement litigation. Similarly, when an infringement lawsuit is filed and a patent evaluation report is provided, even if the defendant declares it invalid within the defense period, the court will generally not suspend the trial. At the same time, the court is more willing to accept the plaintiff's application for evidence preservation and property preservation. On the contrary, the patentee needs to wait for the evaluation report for more than two months after discovering the infringement suspect. If the case is still not provided at the time of filing, once the other party declares it invalid within the defense period, the court should generally suspend the trial; In addition, for the plaintiff's application for property preservation, the court is often unwilling to exercise the patent right for fear of legal stability. The fees charged by the appraisal company are all approved by the local price bureau. Whether it is patent evaluation or other asset evaluation, these evaluation companies in the market are not state administrative units, but profit-making legal persons. Therefore, the charging standard of the corresponding evaluation fee is different all over the country, and it also has a great relationship with the price of the evaluated goods. You can run more evaluation companies and choose a more suitable one after comparison.
