How to search for patents on the website?

First, how to search for patents on the website? First, you should go to China National Intellectual Property Administration's website, select "Patent Search and Query Column" and click on it, and you will jump to the new page of "Patent Search and Query in China". After clicking, you will enter the "China Patent Inquiry System" page. At this point, if you are an electronic application registration user, you can directly enter personal information into the inquiry system in the input field on the right. If you are not a registered user of the electronic application, please enter the "Public Inquiry" on the left. Because the registered users of electronic application need to log in, public inquiry is introduced in the following steps. Click "Public Query" to jump to the interface of public query statement, select "Agree to the above statement" below, click "Continue", and then jump to the interface to enter "Public Query". In the open query, there are several query columns. They are: application number/patent number, name of invention-creation, applicant, application start date, application deadline, etc. According to the information you have, select the query category to query, for example, randomly enter the applicant' Zhang Shan' to query. Second, what is a patent application? Patent application is a necessary procedure for obtaining patent right. To obtain a patent right, the applicant shall file an application with the State Patent Office, which shall approve and issue a certificate. When filing a patent application with the State Patent Office, the applicant shall also submit a series of application documents, such as the request, specification, abstract and patent claim. In terms of patent application, the provisions of the patent laws of all countries in the world are relatively consistent, but there are also many differences. A patent application is a request made by an inventor, designer or other subject who has the right to apply to the Patent Office for a patent right for invention or design. According to the provisions of China's patent law, an application for a patent shall submit an application, specification, patent claim, abstract, drawings and a request for priority to the Patent Office. Among them, the appended drawings and priority claims are not essential to every application, but they are beneficial to patent applications. A patent application shall be in written form, mainly including the following contents: the request, the name of the invention or design, the name and identity of the applicant, the name and identity of the agent and the signature. There are three kinds of patents stipulated in China's patent law: invention patent, utility model patent and design patent. An invention patent may apply for an invention patent for a new technical scheme proposed by a product or method or its improvement; Patent for utility model may apply for a patent for utility model for a new technical scheme suitable for practical use according to the shape, structure or combination of the product; Design patent A new design which is based on the shape, pattern or combination of product and the combination of color and shape and pattern and is aesthetic and suitable for industrial application may apply for a design patent. Welfare editor 1. As an intangible asset, patent has great commercial value and is an important means to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. 2. Enterprises will apply for patents for scientific research achievements, which is the basis for enterprises to implement patent strategy. 3. The quality and quantity of patents are the embodiment of enterprise's innovation ability and core competitiveness, and the symbol of enterprise's identity and position in this industry. 4. Enterprises can gain long-term benefits by applying the patent system. 5, enterprises have a patent is a necessary prerequisite to declare high-tech enterprises, innovation funds and other scientific and technological plans and projects. 6. Enterprises can obtain discount loans through patents. 7. High school students can participate in the independent enrollment of famous schools and key universities such as 985, 2 1 1 through patents. According to the basic principle of patent law, only one patent right can be granted to the same invention. When two or more people file patent applications for the same invention-creation, there are two principles: one is the principle of invention priority, and the other is the principle of application priority. The principle of prior invention means that if two or more people apply for a patent for the same invention-creation, the patent right shall be granted to the person who completed the invention-creation first, regardless of the time when he filed the patent application. However, when adopting this principle, we often encounter many practical difficulties in determining who is the first inventor. Therefore, only a few countries in the world such as the United States, Canada and the Philippines have adopted this principle. The principle of first application means that when two or more people apply for the same invention separately, the time of invention creation is not asked, but the time of filing the patent application is taken as the standard, that is, the patent right is granted to the first applicant, which is the practice adopted by most countries in China and the world. It should be noted that the American Patent Law, which came into effect on March 6, 20 13, changed the "rule of invention first" which has been implemented for more than 200 years into the "rule of inventor's application", but it is still different from the generally adopted "application first". Examination Procedures Different countries have different requirements for examination of patent applications, and basically two different systems are implemented. Some countries implement the formal examination system, that is, only examine whether the form of patent application meets the legal requirements, but not whether the invention meets the substantive conditions such as novelty. Some countries implement substantive examination system, that is, not only the form of application is examined, but also whether the invention has the conditions of novelty, creativity and practicality. Only inventions with the above patent conditions can be granted a patent right. China and most countries in the world adopt the substantive examination system. Detailed description of the process Edit 1, the filling and writing of patent application documents have specific requirements. The applicant can fill in or write by himself, or entrust a patent agency to handle it on his behalf. Although it is not mandatory to entrust a patent agency, considering the importance of carefully writing patent application documents and the legal rigor of examination and approval procedures, it is worth promoting for applicants with little experience. 2. Acceptance of Patent Application After receiving the patent application, the Patent Office's acceptance office or each patent office's agency will determine the application date, give the application number, and issue an acceptance notice to the application that meets the acceptance conditions. 3. How to pay the application fee? The application fee and other fees can be paid directly to the toll office of the Patent Office or the agency of the Patent Office, and can also be remitted by bank or post office, or the registered users of electronic application can log on to China Patent Electronic Application Network and pay the patent fee by using the online payment system. At present, banks use electronic transfer and post offices use electronic remittance. When paying the patent fee through the post office or bank, the payer shall indicate the correct application number or patent number on the money order, and shall abbreviate the name of the payer. The remitter should ask the bank or post office staff to enter the above payment information in the remittance postscript column. If you remit money through the post office, you should also ask the post office staff to enter the complete mailing address, including the postal code, which will play an important role in future procedures. No fees may be charged to the patent office or other departments of the patent office or individual examiners. 4. When paying the application fee, if the patent application documents are submitted in person, you can pay the application fee after obtaining the acceptance notice and the application fee payment notice. If an application is submitted by mail, the application fee shall be paid after receiving the notification of acceptance and the notification of payment of the application fee, because the application fee needs to be paid with the corresponding application number, but the date of payment of the application fee shall not exceed two months from the date of application at the latest. 5. Patent Approval Procedure According to the provisions of the Patent Law, the approval procedure of an application for a patent for invention includes five stages: acceptance, preliminary examination, publication, actual examination and authorization. When examining and approving an application for a patent for utility model or design, there are only three stages: acceptance, preliminary examination and authorization. 6. The active modification and correction of patent application documents is also a procedure that the applicant can choose according to his needs. Applications for patents for utility models and designs are only allowed to be modified voluntarily within two months from the date of application; An application for a patent for invention is only allowed to actively modify the patent application documents within three months from the date of filing a request for substantive examination and receiving a notice from the Patent Office that the application for a patent for invention has entered the substantive examination stage. 7. Reply to various notices from the Patent Office (1). Observe the deadline for reply, and the consequences of late reply are the same as those of no reply. Answer the questions pointed out in the Notice of Review Opinions one by one. The reply can be supplemented or modified according to the examination opinions; If you disagree with the examiner, you should state your own views and reasons. (2) formal or procedural defects can generally be eliminated through revision; Obvious substantive defects are generally difficult to eliminate through revision or modification. In most cases, we can only defend and state our opinions on whether there are or are obvious substantive defects. (3) The modification of an application for a patent for invention or utility model shall not exceed the scope recorded in the original specification and claims, and the modification of an application for a patent for design shall not exceed the scope shown in the original picture or photograph. When submitting the revised document, a replacement page shall be attached in the prescribed format. (4) The defence shall be filed in the prescribed form. Such as submitting corrections or comments. Under normal circumstances, the formal or procedural problems are corrected by using the correction book, and the substantive contents of the application are modified by using the opinion statement. If the applicant disagrees with the examiner's opinion, use a statement of opinion when replying. 8. An application for a patent shall be deemed to have been withdrawn. If the formalities for restoration have not been completed at the expiration of the period, the application shall be deemed to have been withdrawn, and the Patent Office shall issue a notice of deemed withdrawal. If the applicant has justified reasons, he may, within two months from the date of receiving the notice of deemed withdrawal, request the Patent Office to restore his rights and explain the reasons. Anyone who requests the restoration of rights shall submit the Request for Restoration of Rights, explain the justified reasons for the extension, pay the restoration fee, and complete all the unfinished procedures that should be handled. The procedures for handling formalities and paying fees should generally be completed within the above two months. As can be seen from the above, the process of searching for patents on the Internet is very complicated, and every step of the search should be operated according to the requirements of the website, so relevant personnel need to have a clear understanding of what they want to search for. The process of patent application is particularly complicated, and the right to use a patent is protected by law, so everyone should learn more about this legal knowledge.
