How to apply for a patent and improve the patent grant rate? According to the 2021 annual report of the State Intellectual Property Office, the patent authorization rate of China's trembling mu god is 10,000 authorized utility model patents in the same year, a year-on-year increase; 10,000 design patents were authorized, a year-on-year increase. According to the data of the previous two years, the authorization rate of invention patents is significantly lower than that of utility model patents and design patents, so what should we do to improve the authorization rate of invention patents?

Let's take a look at it Let's take a look at it If we want to improve the authorization rate of invention patent applications, we can start from the following aspects: 1. Technical disclosure A detailed and complete technical disclosure has a great role in promoting the successful authorization of patents. Professional patent ** converts the technical solution in the technical disclosure into a legal document, which avoids the delay in the application process due to the substandard disclosure 2. Communication The inventor should communicate the invention idea with the first person in advance, so that the first person can fully understand and excavate the technical solution and its logic presented in the technical disclosure document, so that the application documents can better present the technical solution and actual effect 3. Patent search It is very necessary to carry out a patent search before applying for a patent, and its role mainly includes:

1) Screening out the technical solutions that obviously do not have the prospect of licensing (2) Supplementing and circumventing the technical solutions with certain licensing prospects in accordance with the prior art, including but not limited to supplementing the control test and data, adjusting the scope, and strengthening the reasonable layout and expression of the distinguishing points (3) Helping the patenter to better carry out the reasonable layout of the claims and specifications 4. Writing There are many rules and requirements for the drafting of patent application documents, and it is difficult for non-professionals to write a very good patent application document. It is easy for the patent application to be rejected due to unclear drafting, so it is necessary to find a professional to carry out the drafting 5. Reply to OA The reply to the office action is the channel and right for the applicant and the examiner to communicate with the patent law, and this channel can be used well to persuade the examiner to recognize that the patent application meets the conditions for grant and thus grant the patent right, and its importance is obvious 6. Reasonable layout You can win by "reasonable layout of quantity and quality" to achieve the purpose of improving the grant rate of invention patent applications.

The process of applying for a patent for an invention is rigorous and complex, and it is necessary to provide sufficient materials to explain and verify the relevant patent. In particular, those technical, chemical and other patents need to provide relevant technical materials. The invention patent application process includes five steps: acceptance, preliminary examination, filial piety defense, substantive examination and authorization.

Among them, utility model invention patents and design patents are not subject to early publication and substantive examination.

The results obtained in the process of technology development and new product development should be applied for invention patents because of their high technical level. For example, the application of laser technology is developed and researched, and the laser holographic or grating lame erosion method is applied to the manufacture of Taicheng leather, and a holographic grating synthetic leather is developed. Then, both the leather itself and its manufacturing method should be applied for an invention patent.

Invention is a new technological solution. It is a technical solution that uses the laws of nature to solve various problems in production, scientific research and experiments, and is generally composed of several technical features. Secondly, inventions are divided into two types: product inventions and methods that are prudent and wise.

Product inventions include all things created by man, and process inventions include all methods produced by inventions using the laws of nature.

After substantive examination, the patent conforms to the practicability, novelty and inventiveness of the invention, and the patent right is granted, and the patent application maintenance fee, annual fee of the current year, printing fee and certificate production fee are paid according to the regulations, and the invention patent certificate is obtained. Authorized invention patents will be announced.

The technology for which an invention patent is applied can be either a pioneering or pioneering invention that brings revolutionary changes to a certain discipline or a certain technical field, or an improved invention that is partially improved and developed on the basis of the prior art. Technical fields for which no patent is granted Diagnosis and method of disease, substance obtained by nuclear transformation method, etc.

It takes more than 2 and a half years to apply for an invention patent from application to authorization, and after obtaining the patent right, the annual fee must be paid according to the regulations. The term of protection for an invention patent is 20 years from the filing date. Invention patents cannot be renewed.

First of all, the materials for the disclosure of the technique are submitted, and then the relevant information such as the name, identity, physical evidence and address of the inventor is attached, and then the relevant departments are waiting for the review, and there will be an authorization announcement after the completion of the preliminary examination.

After providing relevant materials and submitting application documents, the Patent Office conducts a preliminary examination and enters the preparation stage for disclosure after passing the preliminary examination.

Legal Analysis: Individuals can apply for invention patents. The inventor or designer is the patentee.

Legal basis: Patent Law of the People's Republic of China

Article 8 Unless otherwise agreed, the right to apply for a patent for an invention-creation completed by two or more units or individuals, or an invention-creation completed by a unit or individual entrusted by another unit or individual, belongs to the unit or individual that completed or jointly completed the invention-creation; After the application is approved, the applicant is the patentee.

Article 9 Only one patent can be granted to Sun Xianfu for the same invention-creation. However, if the same applicant applies for both a utility model patent and an invention patent for the same invention on the same day, and the utility model patent right obtained first has not been terminated, and the applicant declares that the utility model patent right has been abandoned in the hidden paragraph, the invention patent right may be granted.

If two or more applicants apply for a patent for the same invention-creation, the patent right shall be granted to the person who filed the first invention.
