The benefits of patent applications

Patent enables enterprises to occupy a favorable position in the fierce market competition, especially for small and medium sized enterprises, good enough to make it invincible in the patent market. Specifically, the patent can bring us the following functions: 1. Monopolize the market a product as long as patentable, it means that the market has the exclusive rights. Without the patent owner's permission, no person shall manufacture, sell, offer for sale, use, import of the patented product. Thus, the patent has a very important role in the occupation and protection market. This role has developed the Agreement on Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights Protection in GATT after the more prominent. It is the protection of trade and international patents linked, strengthened the patent protection. For example, a copying company, its XEPOX914 copier patent protection in 10 years of its copiers sales increased by 20-fold, 17-fold profit increase. 2. Prevent others from imitating the enterprise to develop new technologies and new products, once a technology patent, regardless of the technology by publishing papers or attend conferences or exhibitions, or otherwise disclosed, are disclosed under legal protection a person who has learned or mastered the technology through the above channels, the technology after the patent is granted, it can not be used indiscriminately. For example: a SINCEII simulator developed by the Institute, will soon have 20 generic, because they did not apply for a patent, there is no way to restrict people imitation, which was subsequently re-examine the success SINCEII emulators on the market before the application for a patent, obtained legal protection, effectively prevent imitate the actions of others. High-tech products require patent protection, low-tech products need patent protection, because of low-tech products more easily imitated, companies must be given. 3. Patented technology can be sold as a commodity (transfer) of pure technique, once the patent is granted becomes industrial property, the formation of intangible assets have a value. A pure technology can not become industrial property (excluding technical secret). Therefore, the technical invention only patented, and the patent office, after review, the granting of patents, in order to become internationally recognized intangible assets. For example, the Yangtze refrigerator plant and Germany's Siemens, Bosch joint venture company, "Yang Refrigeration Co., Ltd. Anhui BSH." Where the Yangtze refrigerator plant with its 25 refrigerators, freezers patent shares, appraisal and valuation of nearly $ 4.82 million by the appraisal institution, amounting to 40.14 million, by the German Siemens, Bosch recognition. 4. Avoid being the first to apply for a patent, although others patent law should not open before the patent application in the domestic manufacture, sale, used, but because afterwards to obtain the appropriate valid evidence is very difficult, therefore, you have disclosed the presence of others products (or technology) take apply for and obtain a valid patent may even be held upside down you tort liability, to eat only dumb silence of the parts. 5. Patent publicity good publicity advertising or product marked with patent signs, consumers think that more reliable commodity, credit, improve visibility. US companies such as Kelon filed hundreds of patents, in some of its patented products marked "; CN ZL ******* number"; sign, a good reputation in the market. 6. Removed to avoid the embarrassment of exhibits on the exhibition at the exhibition, like a new product patent "birth certificate", who owns the "birth certificate", it will have the right to patent the product as a product demonstration. Otherwise, it has been ordered removed at any time to show items crisis may even be disqualified (large exhibition generally provide for the protection of intellectual property, such as the Fair on implementation of "suspected of infringing intellectual property rights of Complaint and Settlement"). Therefore, exhibitors own research and development of new products in a timely manner should apply for a patent, by the supplier to complete the research and development of new products, it is recommended to apply for a patent after its participating organizations. Of course, in addition to the benefits described above, as well as patent also generally as a corporate enterprise market and other assessment is an important indicator of the bridge market research and so on. In short, the patent both as a shield to protect its technology and products; also be used as spears, against opponents infringement. Patent to use the good, the role of corporate patents against unlimited.
