Software technology can apply for invention patents and software copyrights

1. Software copyright registration is relatively simple. Just go to the China Copyright Protection Center to register. The first 30 pages and last pages of the software source code are required. Registration takes 30 pages and is usually completed within 2 months.

2. Application for invention patent can be submitted directly to the Patent Office, or you can entrust a patent agency to handle it, including:

1) Submit patent application documents (including claims) to the Patent Office book, description, description drawings, abstract, abstract drawings), patent application request form (including invention title, applicant, inventor and related information, etc.), patent application fee (application fee 950, substantive examination fee 2500).

2) After submitting these projects to the Patent Office, you can get the application date and application number on the same day, which will be used as the unique number for future patent office review. The official acceptance notice will be issued within two weeks after the application date.

3) Preliminary examination by the Patent Office, and if qualified, the application will be announced no later than 18 months after the filing date.

4) After submitting the substantive examination request (including the substantive examination request form and Q2500), the Patent Office will conduct a substantive examination and issue an authorization notice after passing the examination, indicating that it agrees to the authorization.

5) Perform authorization registration. After completion, the patent authorization announcement will take effect.

If you entrust a patent agency, additional agency fees will be required.
