Individual application and company application have their own advantages. Personal application belongs to individuals and has nothing to do with the company. Service inventions are applied by individuals, which easily leads to patent ownership disputes. The biggest advantage of individual application is that the fee is low, and you can also enjoy reduction and exemption. You can postpone the annual fee for the first three years, as long as you pay 15%. Some areas have government funding, but the funding standard is lower than that of companies.
The rights and interests applied by the company belong to the company, and there is no ownership dispute. It is relatively easy to operate in identifying high-tech enterprises and listing companies. It is more complicated for companies to apply for fee reduction. If there is no fee reduction, the fee will be higher. In some fields, companies can enjoy government subsidies, preferential evaluation, declaration of high-tech enterprises, patent pledge and so on. The company's application is conducive to corporate brand promotion and late financing.
If there is a contract between the service inventor and the unit to which he belongs, the right to apply for a patent and the ownership of the patent shall prevail.
In short, when applying for a patent, we should fully consider the distribution of future successful income and avoid potential disputes.
