Patent applications can be handled directly by the person or agent to the relevant departments, or they can be submitted through the electronic application system. Once the patent applicant is approved, if others want to use the patent, they must obtain the permission and authorization of the patentee, otherwise they will bear corresponding legal responsibilities. The specific process is as follows:
Electronic patent application process:
Step one:
The inventor went to China patent electronic application website → tool download →CPC installation program. Understand the process of patent electronic application, download and install CPC client to personal computer. (System configuration, word and IE.
Browser version refers to CPC client installation requirements)
Step two:
Open the CPC client to make the patent electronic application file. The production method can refer to the video tutorial of China Patent Electronic Application Network:
1. How to submit an electronic patent application → Use process → How to make a standard electronic application document.
2. How to submit an electronic patent application → operation manual → electronic application client?
3. How to submit an electronic patent application → simulate operation → make standard application documents?
4 need to issue a certificate of deferred payment, the science and technology department or agency shall upload a scanned copy of the certificate of deferred payment.
Step 3:
Make an electronic application file through the CPC client, and export the file after verification.
Operation method: CPC client → file management → file export → file.
For detailed documentation, please refer to the form filling specification in the user manual in the client help.
Step 4:
Send the exported file to the patent application mailbox of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Email title: contact name+phone number+patent type+patent stage (application/review reply). Submit the filing form of patent application together.
Responsibilities of the Ministry of Science and Technology
Step five:
1, the staff will digitally sign the patent documents received in the mailbox through the electronic patent application platform of the school in time;
2. Submit the application documents to China National Intellectual Property Administration for review and receive the electronic application receipt at the same time;
3. In the process of handling in China National Intellectual Property Administration, the staff timely received the feedback documents such as the notification of patent application acceptance, the notification of substantive examination, the amendment opinions and the authorization certificate, and sent them to the patent inventor's mailbox;
4. Patent inventors who upload intermediate documents through the school electronic patent application platform in the process of patent restoration need to repeat the above work.
Patent application
After the patent is approved by China National Intellectual Property Administration, the patent certificate shall be submitted to the science and technology department for filing in time, and the inventor/certificate holder shall be responsible for the differences caused by the failure to file in time.
