How important is intellectual property declaration to enterprises
1. Patent rights: 1) Preemption: Patent law rules on Patent protection The first-to-file principle is implemented, and patent rights are granted first to the person who applies for the patent. Therefore, companies must first apply for patents for their inventions.
2) Advertising: Sometimes, requesting a patent is secondary The purpose is not patent protection, but for advertising. For example, marking "Patented product, first created by our factory" on the product packaging for promotional purposes. Some people apply for patents in order to sell technology, and patent documents become their best advertising for selling technology.
3) Defense: First, prevent others from applying for patents Misappropriating one's own products and methods to apply for patents, and then falsely accusing oneself of "infringement"; the second is to disclose the content of the invention in the patent document, and disclose the content of the patent application to prevent others from applying for patents first and then suing themselves.
4) Monopoly: Many companies apply for patents not to sell technology, but to monopolize the rights to manufacture, use or sell their products and methods.
5) Inhibition: Some companies expect to obtain patent rights when applying for patents Later, when someone else infringes the patent, they may be asked to declare the patent right valid and it will be difficult to sue the competitor. However, the purpose of applying for a patent is to suppress and consume the opponent's energy through patent litigation and gain initiative in market competition.
6) Storage: Sometimes applying for a patent is not a rush The patented technology is developed into products and put on the market, but the technology is stored and the second-generation product will be launched when the previous-generation product has fully exerted its market effect.
7) Claim: Some companies request patents not for monopoly The purpose of consumption and usage rights is not to sell technology, but to obtain huge compensation claims through litigation one day.
8) Tangible asset financing
9) Project application requirements: high-tech enterprises, enterprise technology centers, innovative enterprises , Engineering Technology Research Center, etc., especially high-tech enterprises cannot be considered successful if they do not have patent rights (which can be replaced by software copyrights).
