How to calculate excessive patent protection?

The improvement of people's legal awareness is also reflected in the protection of the ownership of patent use rights. Whether it is a company or an individual, when it comes to patent rights, they will take extra care to safeguard their rights and interests. Will patent protection be overprotected? I believe everyone knows the term patent. A patent can be a field, an anime image, a technology or an original work. Defined from the perspective of laws and regulations, it is an exclusive right. The law protects the patent right of the patent owner. Without the consent of the patentee, it is illegal for anyone to use the patent, so the patent right is very exclusive. There are also many kinds of patents, which can be roughly divided into three types: invention patents, utility model patents and design patents, which are well understood. An invention patent is an invention to create a new product or technology and hold its ownership, such as a new edible soy sauce formula, a new material preparation method or a new invention-creation, while the scope of a utility model patent is smaller than that of an invention patent, which only protects a specific product, and the final design patent is to protect the product design. Many people may confuse invention patents with utility model patents. For example, it is easy to understand. If the TVs in the world are all glass screens, and the company they work for invented LCD TVs, applying for invention patents can protect LCD TV manufacturing technology and LCD TV products, while utility model patents only protect LCD TV products. Patent protection is the protection of patent rights, which is reflected in the legal protection of the patentee's patent rights within the protected period. Anyone who uses a patent needs the permission of the patentee, and the patentee can resort to law when the patent right is infringed. According to the type of patent application, the protection period is different. From the date of filing, the protection period of invention patents is the longest, and the patent law stipulates that invention patents can be protected for 20 years at the longest, while the protection period of utility model patents and design patents is only 10 year at the longest. Article 44 of the Patent Law stipulates two situations in which the patent protection period is terminated in advance. One is that the patentee fails to pay the annual fee according to the regulations, and the other is that the patentee voluntarily applies for waiver. It is precisely because the protection of patents is limited and will not be overprotected as people say. Whoever wants to use a patent must negotiate and communicate with the patentee, agree on which licensing method to use, whether it is general license, exclusive license or exclusive license, sign a patent licensing contract, and pay due fees for different licensing methods.
