If I ask you what era it is now, there will be a whole lot of answers: "the era of the Internet," "the era of information," "the virtual era," and the "
From the net red papi sauce to logical thinking, from know-how to all kinds of knowledge payment, it is not difficult to see that now is the "knowledge economy era"
In the knowledge economy era, intellectual property rights in the development of the economy and society, the status of intellectual property rights in the development of the economy and society, and the role of intellectual property rights in the development of the economy and the development of the society.
In the era of knowledge economy, the status and role of intellectual property rights in the development of economy and society are becoming more and more important, and the competition based on innovation and knowledge is becoming more and more heated, and more and more people start to pay attention to how to protect their intellectual property rights.
When it comes to defending one's intellectual property rights, we have to talk about a word that seems to have nothing to do with ordinary people: patent
In most people's impression, the word patent is very far away from us, as if only some famous historical figures such as Thomas Edison, Watt, Wright Brothers, Newton and so on will be associated with patents.
In fact, it is not
In the previous article, we mentioned the "Nursing Inventor" Zhang Jing. Accumulated more than 100 national utility model patent technology and 6 national invention patent technology, successfully transferred more than 10 utility model patent technology. The company has realized the realization of technology and knowledge.
Wang Jin, director of the general surgery department of Zhuzhou Central Hospital, using his accumulated experience in the work of surgery, successfully invented and applied for a patent - "disposable tube-type viscera bundling and lifting device" successfully realized the transformation of scientific and technological achievements to Changzhou City, Wake Medical Devices Co.
Another example is the Chongqing Three Gorges Hospital dermatology Feng Haitao, an ordinary attending physician, the use of their spare time to learn the knowledge of dedicated research, inventions and creations of dozens of, of which 11 have been awarded a national patent certificate, there are 20 inventions are being the official website of the State Intellectual Property Office publicity.
It can be seen that many patents are in a large number of clinical work and the actual work of the summary of the slow water to the drain. A small improvement, a new idea can be landed into a patented product.
Ideas have, improve the product out can rest easy? The first step is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you want to do! If you don't apply for a patent in time, you're likely to end up in the wrong place.
Tu Youyou
Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize news, in the field of medicine, finally let the Chinese medicine to raise the eyebrow of a time, but also let the people of the country national pride straight up.
However, in the intellectual property circle, due to the lack of intellectual property protection system, resulting in artemisinin patents fall by the wayside, also attracted people sigh. If you have a higher-value invention, you should protect your patents and not let the smallest of the smallest of the smallest of the smallest of the smallest of the smallest of the smallest of the smallest of the smallest of the smallest of the smallest of the smallest of the smallest of the smallest of the smallest of the smallest.
The Nobel Prize Committee in Stockholm, Sweden, held a press conference to award the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Chinese pharmacologist Tu Youyou, as well as two other scientists, William Campbell and Omura Ji, in recognition of their achievements in the treatment of parasitic diseases. Tu Youyou won the award for the treatment of malaria drug artemisinin-related patents fell into the hands of the Swiss company Novartis, China as the main source of raw materials for artemisinin, but can only get to provide raw materials and substances of the meager profits, while the former enjoys the monopoly on patents of the rolling financial resources.
What is even more ridiculous is that even the trademark "Tu Youyou" has been seized. In 2011, Tu Youyou was awarded the Lasker Prize for Medicine, which is known as the "wind vane" of the Nobel Prize, and then there was a "professional trademark registrant". "Professional trademark registrants" have been eyeing her name. In the intellectual property management platform Zhikubao through the trademark query found that in the year following her award that is, in 2012, "Tu Youyou" trademark by the natural person Yu Xiaozhi and Suzhou City, Xia's eyeglasses limited company applied for registration in the international trademark classification of the 5th class and the 9th class.
Let's take a look at the process of applying for a medical reverse patent:
The first step: the inventor organizes the innovative ideas and prepares the technical submission
The technical submission can determine the validity of the patent declaration. It roughly contains the following:
1. Request for Patent for Invention
2. Abstract
3. Abstract with drawings (if applicable)
4. Specification
5. Specification with drawings (if any)
6. Claims
Step 2: Conduct a patent search
The patent search ensures the novelty of the content of the patent writing and improves the probability of patent authorization.
Step 3: Sign an intellectual property service agreement
Sign an agreement with a third-party intellectual property service company, which will help the applicant to complete the subsequent reporting work.
Step 4: The patent attorney examines the technical submission, communicates with the inventor to confirm that the material is correct; the attorney writes the application file, which is submitted to the patent office after the client's confirmation
The patent attorney, based on the technical submission (which may need to be communicated to the inventor several times), confirms the accuracy of the content of the invention, and then begins to write the application file. The patent attorney will then start writing the application document.
Step 5: Acceptance and Examination by the Patent Office
After the patent office accepts the invention patent, the main examination procedures are: preliminary examination, publication, and substantive examination.
Step 6: Amendment and correction by the applicant
During the examination process, if defects are found in the application documents, the examiner will ask the applicant to make amendments or corrections, and the applicant can also take the initiative to make amendments to overcome various defects in the application documents within the specified time.
Step 7: Announcement of Authorization
After examination, the Patent Office formally grants the patent right and makes an announcement.
Although it seems that there are only seven steps, but there are few links in which problems need to be resubmitted or supplemental materials will need to lengthen the time of one to two months. To know that even if everything goes well normal run down also need to 2 years around the time. Many people are discouraged from doing so.
Although cumbersome, for doctors and nurses, having their own invention patents not only protects their creativity, but also plays a role in evaluating titles, and may even be transformed into a product, which can be of great economic benefit.
So it is important to apply for a patent in time and find a reliable patent agency.
