1.Application Stage.

The application documents for an invention patent shall include: a request for a patent for invention patent, a description (if the description has drawings, drawings shall be submitted to the description), claims, and an abstract (if necessary, there shall be an abstract drawing).

After passing the preliminary examination, it will be published immediately after 18 months from the filing date. The patent office may also publish the application at an early date at the request of the applicant.

The preliminary examination mainly verifies whether the application documents are complete; whether the form meets the standards; Whether the fee is paid. During the preliminary examination, the Patent Office will issue a notice of correction for the above matters, and the applicant will make the correction.

After the publication of an invention application, the Patent Office initiates substantive examination upon receipt of a request for substantive examination from the applicant. The examiner issues a notice of reasons for refusal, in which the examiner evaluates the novelty, inventive step, and practicability of the invention application, and points out the substantive defects in the application documents. The applicant responds to the reasons for examination and amends the application documents if necessary.

If the applicant's response overcomes the office action, the examiner will issue a notice of grant of the patent.

In terms of patent applications, the provisions of patent laws in various countries in the world are basically the same. You can apply on your own or find an agency. If you want to apply for a patent, there are many items involved, including new invention patents, appearance patents, etc.

In some countries, a substantive examination is carried out, that is, not only the form of the application, but also the novelty, and the advanced and practical nature of the invention is substantively examined. A patent can only be granted if an invention is granted with these patent conditions. China and most countries in the world have adopted a substantive examination system.

Application fee, $500. Patent registration and stamp duty, a total of 205 yuan. The annual fee is 600 yuan for 1-3 years, 900 yuan for 4-5 years, 1200 yuan for 6-8 years, and 2000 yuan for 9-10 years.

As a carrier of scientific and technological innovation, patents not only play a role in general tax reduction and obtaining necessary cash income, but also play an important role in enhancing personal value and promoting corporate image. Patents are a legal system that protects the intellectual property rights of inventions and creations under the conditions of a market economy. All inventions and creations that meet the conditions for patents should be patented as soon as possible in order to obtain national legal protection.

Strive for the initiative in market competition and ensure the safety of their own production and sales. The state has certain support policies for patent applications, and will give certain policy and economic assistance. The development of similar technology or products by others must obtain the consent of the patentee.

It can promote the upgrading of products, improve the technical content of products, improve product quality, and reduce costs, so that the company's products are invincible in the market competition.

2) Application for utility model patents and invention patents.

Both utility model patents and invention patents need to be drafted with a patent specification and submitted to the State Patent Office together with the application for the patent. Since the Patent Law stipulates that an invention patent is subject to substantive examination only after the publication of the patent specification of the application, the purpose of submitting an advance disclosure statement is to enter the substantive examination as soon as possible, so as to shorten the period of patent application. Therefore, invention patents also need to submit two documents: the "Statement of Request for Advance Disclosure" and the "Request for Substantive Examination".

After paying the fee in time, the certificate will be issued in about two months. The invention patent application process takes about three years.

If the above three types of patents are applied by individuals (only for individuals in Chinese mainland), they can submit a "Application for Fee Reduction" together to request a reduction of the application fee and the first three annual fees.

2. Patent fee standard.

There are three types of patents in China: invention, utility model, and design.
