How to choose an agency for patent application? Is the more money, the greater the success rate of patent application?
Don't! What you are looking for is a formal institution recognized by China National Intellectual Property Administration. Look at the institutional reputation. In addition to the reputation in the industry, patent agencies will have more high-quality and stable customers. By consulting the patent applications of industry leaders, it is easy to know which institutions have better reputation and strength. Then look at the size of the organization, how many agents there are in an agency, how many applications are made a year, how high the authorization rate is, and what areas are mainly engaged in patent applications. These are the reference values for patent agency inspection. It is suggested to find a relatively large comprehensive institution as the primary partner. Patent authorization depends not only on the agent's personal ability, but also on the organization's own process system. An agency with a standardized process system can avoid many mistakes in details and ensure the integrity of patent information. The quality of patent application is very important, but for enterprises, working hours are also the embodiment of an agency's ability. The time period of patent writing and patent reply needs a clear indicator. You can ask the working saturation of the agent and indirectly understand the working efficiency of the agent. Face-to-face communication with agents. If you don't know the patent, you can ask questions directly, and through the communication with the agent, you can understand his business ability and technical understanding ability. In the final analysis, choosing an agent is choosing an agent. The same organization also has high and low levels, so communication with technicians is very important. In short, don't look for a "black" agent, it's not safe.
