How to save money by applying for foreign patents
When applying for a foreign patent, there are two issues to be considered: 1, and time. If the patent scheme is valid for a long time in the market and needs careful consideration, the PCT procedure is preferred to apply for more consideration time; If you apply for domestic application first, and then ask for domestic priority to apply for other countries, the time you can get is only 12 months; 2. cost. The main goal of PCT is to consider time. If you enter the national phase of China at the same time, you can at least save some money on the application, but the cost of entering the specific national phase depends on the specific situation. If the country that needs to enter has been determined, the cost generated by the two methods can be comprehensively calculated to optimize.
