1, patent documents should be searched to judge whether the invention meets the basic conditions of the three characteristics of the patent. At this time, the judgment of the three characteristics of patent is only preliminary. The purpose of retrieval is to minimize the blindness of patent application, increase the certainty of patent authorization and the legal stability after authorization, and another purpose is to easily find the existing comparative technology, so as to write the patent claim and determine the protection scope of patent right more accurately.
2. It is necessary to further analyze the technical and economic development trend of competitors and their patent strategies, and check whether the application conforms to our product, technical and economic development strategy and patent strategy.
3. Do a good job in keeping relevant technical secrets and entrust a professional patent agency to act as an agent.
Two, the patent application should not be premature, the invention has not been basically completed, and there may be several adverse consequences after the technology is made public:
The technical content of 1. has not been fully disclosed, so it cannot be realized yet. It was rejected by the patent office and could not be awarded.
2. The rejected immature patent application may inspire others. Others make rapid progress, apply first, and their peaches will be picked by others.
3. The protection of patents may be lax and incomplete, thus providing opportunities for others to improve, expand and apply for new patents.
Third, the patent application must be early.
In China, the patent is granted to the first applicant, and the first invention is subject to the first application, so the date of patent application is very important!
You can't apply too late. If the invention has been basically completed, but it is always considered imperfect, it is also a test and an improvement in details. As a result, the application opportunity was delayed. If the latecomers apply first, they will have no chance to apply for remedy, because they lost it prematurely. It's too late to make amends.
It is suggested to entrust a professional intellectual property agency to apply for a patent. Their professionalism will enable you to get the patent certificate quickly and avoid missing the opportunity because of the professional problems in the patent application. It is better to find a professional intellectual property agency to succeed quickly than to face failure in your own application.
