In China, the principle of prior application is applied for patent application, and the patent right is granted to the applicant who puts forward the same scheme. The steps of applying for a patent include: first, preparing application documents, including the description of the request, specification, patent claim, drawings and specification. A patent for design shall contain a request, a picture or photograph and a brief explanation. Second, you can choose two ways to submit materials.

1, go directly to the lobby of the patent office or the local patent agency window.

2. Submit it by email. Then, the State Patent Office issued a notice of acceptance, which means that the patent application officially entered the examination and approval procedure. Step 4: Pay the application fee. In addition to paying directly to the toll office of the patent office or the agency of the patent office, you can also pay the application fee by bank or post office remittance. Pay attention to the payment within 15 working days from the date of receiving the admission notice. After that, the Patent Office will review the application. First, for patent applications other than inventions, patents can be granted as long as they pass the preliminary examination, and unqualified modifications can be resubmitted. Finally, they can be granted a patent right after the approval of China National Intellectual Property Administration.

Legal basis: Article 26 of the Patent Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), when applying for a patent for invention or utility model, documents such as the request, specification, abstract, patent claim, etc. shall be submitted. The request shall specify the name of the invention or utility model, the name of the inventor, the name and address of the applicant and other matters. The specification shall give a clear and complete description of the invention or utility model, which shall be subject to the realization of the technical personnel in the technical field; When necessary, drawings shall be attached. The technical points of the invention or utility model should be briefly explained.

What do you mean by brand?

1. If the product is independently developed, then the product can apply for a patent, the technical product can apply for a patent for invention or utility model, and the product appearance or packaging can apply for a patent for design.

If the brand you are talking about is for the convenience of publicity, such as Telunsu milk, then you can apply for a trademark to protect the product. After the successful application, others can't use your trademark on the products of this industry.

Whether it is a patent or a trademark, you can apply for it yourself or entrust an agent. If you don't know much about this, I suggest entrusting an agent. On the one hand, it can get better protection, on the other hand, it can save a lot of time.

Brand registration is a patent in disguise, but brands cannot apply for patents.
