Patents can bring advantages to enterprises in the market, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, good patents can determine the future development of enterprises, but for some friends, the understanding is only one-sided, such as appraisal titles, projects, etc., and it is not necessary to maintain it every year, so it is asked that there is such a question: Why do you want enterprises to apply for patents? The following small series of patent applications will be explained in detail.
First, occupy market share.
A product with a patent right is equivalent to having a proprietary market right. No one may manufacture, sell or promise to sell, use or import products of patent rights without the permission of the patentee. Therefore, patents play a very important role in occupying and protecting the market, and after the signing of the GATT and the Trade Protection Agreement, this role has become more prominent, and the protection of patents in international trade has become more effective, thus strengthening patent protection in disguise.
Second, avoid letting others apply first.
Although the Patent Law stipulates that you should not openly manufacture, sell, and use it in China before applying for a patent, because it is difficult to obtain corresponding effective evidence afterwards, it is possible that someone will take the product (or technology) you have disclosed to apply for and obtain a valid patent, or even reverse it to pursue your infringement liability, and then it will be more than worth the loss.
Third, reliable publicity channels.
Advertising or product with a patent logo, consumers perceive the product as more reliable, more reputable, and increase the visibility of the enterprise.
Fourth, innovation proves.
Intellectual property rights can effectively prove the innovation ability of enterprises, so as to win the trust of customers and establish corporate brands.
Fifth, patented products are the intangible assets of enterprises.
The more patented products an enterprise has, the more its strength can be reflected, and having a certain number of patents can also become an important indicator of enterprise listing and other review, such as high-tech enterprise qualification review, scientific and technological project acceptance and review, etc., patents can also become a bridge for the marketization of scientific research results.
In addition to the above-mentioned role, patents can also declare high-tech enterprises, double soft, etc., individuals can also get better development through professional titles, students can also evaluate patents to reduce the threshold for further education, in short, patents play a lot of roles, depending on how you play the use, more patent content can sustainably pay attention to us!
