I entered the business for 1 years. At that time, I was a little white who knew nothing about patents. I started to learn patents with a very uneasy mood, and now I have some superficial understanding of patents, so I thought on a whim to record and summarize my experience on the occasion of the 7th anniversary of the National Day.
1. About the daily work status of patent agents
The following are all my personal situations, not all of them. Usually I feel a lot of pressure, time is never enough, and things can never be finished. After I arrive at the company every day, I basically sit from morning till night. If there are many emergencies, my brain may be running at high speed for several hours, and I feel that drinking saliva is a waste of time. Before and after the long vacation, it is like fighting a war, desperately catching up with various deadlines, so I have no time for exercise and leisure, and I always want to work overtime on weekends, so that next week's days will be relaxed. Of course, different agencies have different systems, which leads to different working conditions of agents. Generally speaking, foreign-related agents are in a hurry, and the company does have a lot of business, so basically colleagues are in this state.
second, about the income of patent agents
hard work can naturally bring rewards. As for whether such a return is in a proper proportion to the effort, it actually depends on the standard in one's mind. Naturally, there is no comparison abroad, but it is in the upper-middle level among the students who graduated at the same time in China (only for the machinery industry).
III. About the daily work of patent agents and its importance
In short, I face some complicated things every day:
1. The form management information is very lengthy: patent application number, patent name, application date, patentee, inventor, agency, publication date, authorization date and payment information, resulting in a lot of information in this form management.
2. Intellectual property management affairs are complicated, because there are many patents, trademarks and soft programs. When an enterprise has multiple intellectual property rights, it needs to deal with a variety of affairs, and it needs a convenient way to improve efficiency.
3. The update of intellectual property information is not timely.
with the increase of the number of patents and trademarks, it is very likely that the table will be updated today and the patent status will be changed tomorrow. Enterprises adopt passive updating, which is lagging behind and easy to miss.
4. There are many intellectual property cases, such as official fees, agency fees and annual fees, which are easy to make mistakes without special reminder; The case defense time is tight and easy to expire, which easily leads to the failure of the case procedure and the loss of intangible assets.
5. The maintenance is not timely due to the increase in quantity, and it is not easy to find; The data information of each department is not connected, so it is impossible to work well together.
6. Intellectual property managers do not know enough about the content of intellectual property rights, and they are not creative enough in writing manuscripts, such as patents, trademarks and soft works, and the quality is not high.
7. The personnel flow of intellectual property managers causes the lack of data and information.
8. Many enterprise intellectual property managers are not full-time workers and have been exposed to intellectual property for a short time, which makes enterprise intellectual property management not systematic and professional, and easily leads to insufficient enterprise innovation and intellectual property management level.
9. We can't automatically receive official letters, analyze them intelligently, don't support online preview function, and have limited viewing times.
To sum up, the patent project is not as fragrant as it looks. . However, if there are difficulties, there must be a breakthrough, and I occasionally come into contact with the patent management system of Qifuyun. This system has a clear interface, simple operation, no need to face complicated data forms, automatic processing, etc. Suddenly, I feel that I have worked hard for several years, and finally I was replaced by a system. Sadly, why can I replace it? The following mainly introduces its functions:
1. Official docking management: I can seamlessly dock with the official cpc client through the plug-in independently developed, and automatically receive official messages. It can intelligently analyze the official documents of the communication, such as official deadline, payment deadline and other important information set by the government, and archive, trigger the task process, generate official fees and generate deadlines to connect with the official system, audit the internal case information, support the extraction of various documents such as PDF, TIF, XML and DOC of the communication, and support the online preview function, which can be collected at one time. Lifelong view
2. The whole-process case management system includes project application management, patent management, trademark management and copyright management. Among them, the intellectual property management system provides various types of management (patents, trademarks and copyrights), including strict and professional internal task interaction processes such as case management, case matching management, manuscript review management, submission management and annual fee management, and provides regular report interaction with standardized case management and perfect system data triggering, automation and time saving.
3. Triple deadline control of process tasks is adopted: phased monitoring and reminding of node deadline, customer deadline and official limit fee deadline, and multiple guarantees are adopted to ensure the smooth progress and timely completion of cases, and key reminders can be set for cases that are about to expire, so as to avoid the problem of overdue cases.
4. Adopt comprehensive management of technological innovation, technical proposal and patent information, standardize the management of strategic layout of patent application, domestic and foreign patent application and PCT patent application, control the whole life cycle of patent application, examination, authorization, implementation and termination, and centrally manage all patent-related transactions? Documents, expenses and time limit, etc.
2. It is widely used in enterprises, scientific research institutes and universities. It is an essential tool to improve the efficiency of intellectual property work, improve the level of intellectual property management, and promote technological innovation and core competitiveness of enterprises.
3. Manage the whole patent application process, manage the complete patent life cycle, automatically remind the task time limit, automatically monitor the application fee, annual fee, etc., self-prepare the form letter template, and automatically write the Word document.
after reading these functions, do you feel that there are so many things that patent agents usually do, and the feeling is cumbersome? What cumbersome things have been solved by this software, which simplifies the cumbersome things, but it is a sad thing for a person who has been climbing the film for 1 years, and it is also the savior of this industry. If necessary, friends can go to Qifuyun official website to see.
