Chapter 94 Patent Applications

After Huang He and Wang Bo reached an outsourcing deal with the "hot fast" products of the Light Industry Department, he sent Liao Muping to arrange personnel to be assigned to various outsourcing factories for teaching.

According to the agreement, Huang He will send some of the original employees in his factory into the industry of the Light Industry Department, so as to ensure the effective quality of the product.

In the case of insufficient production staff, this is the fastest and most efficient method.

Li Yan in Guangzhou had already contacted someone for Huang He, and since Huang He couldn't get out of the way, he could only ask Li Yan for the phone number of the patent expert.

"Hot fast" production and sales work is in full swing, blanket factory side of 200 cashmere blanket orders Huang He also let Shen Qiuyun send people to prepare, although the number of sales is small, but it is also a beginning, Huang He's working principle is: no matter whether the goods are more or less, expensive or cheap, we must do our best to do our best, only with such a principle, customers will come to the door again.

After taking care of the matter here, Huang He dialed the phone number he asked for from Li Yan.

The person who answered the phone was a young man: "Hey, hello, this is a patent office, what do you need?"

"Ah, hello, I'm Huang He, introduced by Li Yan and Sister Li, and I want to consult you about the product patent application. The other party used honorifics, and Huang He also replied politely.

When the people over there heard Li Yan's name, their tone was immediately much more casual: "Oh, Li Yan, it's easy to say, my name is Yunlin, and I am Li Yan's old classmate, since she introduced me, then I won't go through the procedure with you, what do you want to consult, let's talk in detail directly, you wait a minute, I'll take a pen and paper." ”

Huang He responded, thinking about how to organize the language, it turned out that Huang He thought too much, after all, Yunlin is a professional patent office staff, and he gets to the point when he gets things done, and he speaks neatly without procrastination, and goes directly to the topic.

"What kind of product are you?"

Huang He was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was going to render a lot of words, didn't the staff have to say hello first, this Yunlin was really simple: "'Hot fast' is an electronic product used to boil water." ”

"Oh, that's right, I'll tell you first. The general process of applying for a patent. ”

Yunlin spoke quickly, Huang He had to listen carefully: "Generally speaking, the acquisition of patent rights, as long as you apply to the national patent authority, approved by the national patent authority, and then issue a certificate, if you plan to apply, you need to prepare a series of application documents in advance, probably a request, specification, abstract and claims, etc., when you apply, there will be a special person to explain to you, you can apply for the application, you can apply yourself, or you can find a patent firm to apply for the application." You are Li Yan's friend, if you think about it, trust me, I can help you. ”

"Naturally, I can trust it, so what kind of patent should I apply for according to my product?" According to Huang He's knowledge, there seems to be a piece of patent classification among the little bit of knowledge about patent application.

There was the sound of pen and paper rubbing, accompanied by Yulin's voice: "In China, there are currently three types of inventions and creations, namely: inventions, utility models and designs. In the application stage, it is called an invention patent application, a utility model patent application, and a design patent application. After you are granted, it is called an invention patent, a utility model patent, and a design patent, and at that time, you are the patentee of the corresponding patent. ”

Before the words fell, Yun Lin continued to add: "The invention patent is a new technical solution proposed for the product, method or the improvement of the product or method; the utility model patent is a new technical solution suitable for practical use proposed for the shape, structure or combination of the product; and the design patent is mainly for the shape, pattern or combination of the product, as well as the combination of color and shape and pattern to make a new design that is aesthetically pleasing and suitable for industrial application." Your 'hot fast' is mainly the invention of the product, which is very clear, and you can directly apply for an invention patent. ”

Huang He told Yunlin about the current situation of the blanket factory and what Li Yan said to him last time, Yunlin said: "Li Yan is indeed right, the state does have support for patents, but the government does not pay too much attention to patents, and the country does not attach much importance to patents at this stage, but there is always a benefit and no harm in applying for it." In today's China, there are many products sold through the Canton Fair, which are sold to various places, and some people even sell the products directly by taking them off, which is what you call buyout, which is just a change of protagonist, the active party has changed from the Chinese themselves to foreigners, and the Chinese people have become passive parties. Foreign countries such as RB, the United States, and South Korea are usurping Chinese patents on a large scale by buying out Chinese product rights at high prices. It's because everyone doesn't pay attention to patents and think it's not very useful, but you must know that the initiative of the product is in your own hands, and it is always better than in the hands of others. ”

"Large-scale buyout?" Huang He was a little surprised, "Doesn't that mean that the products made by our Chinese themselves cannot be sold after they are bought by foreigners, otherwise it is illegal, so that is, if you want to use this product again, you have to buy it from foreigners again, so isn't this spending your own money to buy your own products?"

I don't know if I don't listen, but I'm shocked when I hear it. Huang He didn't know that there were so many ways and exquisiteness to patents.

Yun Lin smiled and said: "It's almost what you understand, since you are Li Yan's friend, I will also tell you a few more words, now the market is developing, although the government has not given too much expression, but this is a big trend, if you have a certain number of patents, this will be used as an important indicator in your company's listing and some other reviews." It's like the college entrance examination, there are extra points for special personnel, and in shopping malls, patents are plus points. Patents can be used as a shield to protect one's own technology and products, or as a spear to combat infringement by opponents, and it doesn't cost much to apply for a patent, but it is indeed an investment in your future. ”

Huang He thought about the current situation in China, and probably had some numbers in his heart, what Yun Lin said was indeed right, just like the exam, one more certificate and one more guarantee.
