China National Intellectual Property Administration issued a notice on further strictly regulating the patent application behavior, and standardized the patent application subsidy policy. Before the end of June, 221, all levels of patent application subsidies should be completely cancelled. All localities shall not give financial support to patent application in any form, such as funding, incentives and subsidies. The scope of existing local funding should be limited to authorized invention patents (including invention patents authorized overseas through PCT and other means), and the funding method should be in the form of post-authorization subsidies.
the total amount of subsidies received by the aided object at all levels and types shall not be higher than 5% of the official fees paid for obtaining the patent right, and the annual patent fee and intermediary service fees such as patent agency shall not be subsidized. For those who resort to deceit to obtain patent grants, the allocated funds shall be recovered within a time limit.
during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, all localities should gradually reduce all kinds of financial support for patent authorization, and cancel them all before 225. All localities should focus on optimizing the use and management of financial funds related to patent funding, strengthening the use of patent protection, and focusing on increasing support for subsequent transformation and use, administrative protection and public services. Patent application subsidies will be abolished, but patents are particularly important for enterprises.
1. What is a patent
The document records the contents of the invention and creation, and in a certain period of time, it produces such a legal state that the patented invention and creation can only be implemented by others with the permission of the patentee.
second, the importance of intellectual property rights to enterprises
patents are part of intellectual property rights and play a very important role in promoting the development of enterprises.
1. Strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights can ensure the business safety of enterprises. Enterprises, especially scientific and technological enterprises, are mostly at the forefront of scientific and technological innovation, and produce products suitable for market demand through scientific and technological research and development. Strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights can enable enterprises to enjoy the market benefits brought by intellectual property rights exclusively, avoid the loss of intellectual property rights, avoid the risk of infringement and ensure the business safety of enterprises.
2. Strengthening intellectual property rights can ensure the safety of R&D investment of enterprises. When conducting scientific research projects and independent research and development, enterprises can know the intellectual property status of their fields in time through the analysis and utilization of intellectual property information, so as to avoid infringing on the prior rights of others, resulting in "ineffective" research and development and wasting manpower, material resources and financial resources.
3. Strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights can increase the added value of products in the market. By producing and selling independent intellectual property products, enterprises can enhance their corporate image, enhance their market competitiveness, and even gain the right to speak on market pricing.
4. Strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights can enhance the position of enterprises in joint ventures and business negotiations. Enterprises can use independent intellectual property rights to increase capital and share, pledge financing, license use, establish industrial alliances, etc., and improve their position in joint ventures and business negotiations.
whether it's a trademark or a patent, everyone should be aware of the protection of intellectual property rights. With the change of patent application subsidy policy, Intellectual Property suggests that you apply for a patent as soon as possible, and you can consult with Bajie at any time for any questions about patent application subsidy.
