A patent. A patent.

Patent literally refers to exclusive rights and interests. The word "patent" comes from Latin "Litterae patentes", which means open letters or open documents. It is a certificate used by medieval monarchs to issue certain privileges, and later refers to the exclusive right certificate signed by the British king himself.

In modern times, patents are generally documents issued by government agencies or regional organizations representing several countries according to their applications. This kind of document records the contents of the invention and creation, and in a certain period of time, it has produced such a legal state that the patented invention and creation can only be implemented by others with the permission of the patentee. In China, there are three kinds of patents: inventions, utility models and designs.

As the most effective carrier of technical information, patent literature contains more than 90% of the latest technical information in the world, which is 5-6 years earlier than the information provided by general technical publications. Moreover, 70%-80% of inventions are only disclosed through patent documents, which are not found in other scientific and technological documents. Compared with other literary forms, patents are more novel and practical. It can be seen that patent literature is the largest technical information source in the world. According to empirical statistical analysis, patent literature contains 90%-95% of the global scientific and technological information.

introduce

Such a huge information resource is far from being fully utilized. In fact, for enterprise organizations, patents are the only place where competitors have to disclose some key information to the public, and these information will not be disclosed elsewhere. Therefore, the analyst of enterprise competitive intelligence can get a lot of useful information from patent literature through careful, rigorous, comprehensive and relevant analysis, so that the published patent information can be used by enterprises and realize its unique economic value.

Two meanings

In China, patents have two meanings:

1, the use of spoken language only refers to "exclusive". For example, "This is just my patent".

2. The triple meanings in intellectual property rights are easily confused.

Folding abbreviation

First, the abbreviation of patent right refers to the patent right enjoyed by the patentee for invention and creation, that is, the state grants the inventor or his successor the exclusive right to use his invention and creation within a certain period of time according to law, and the emphasis here is on rights. Patent right is an exclusive right with exclusivity. If a non-patentee wants to use the patented technology of others, he must obtain the authorization or permission of the patentee according to law.

Second, it refers to inventions protected by the patent law, that is, patented technology, which is a proprietary technology recognized by the state and protected by law on the basis of publicity. The "patent" here refers to technical methods-technologies or schemes protected by national laws. The so-called proprietary technology is the technology with exclusive rights, which is a bigger concept, including patented technology and technical secrets. Some professional technologies that do not belong to patents and technical secrets are meaningful only in some technical service contracts. A patent is an invention protected by legal norms. It is an invention that submits a patent application to the national examination and approval authority, and after passing the examination according to law, the patent applicant is granted the exclusive right to the invention within the time specified by the country, and the annual fee needs to be paid regularly to maintain the protection status in the country.

Third, it refers to the patent certificate issued by the Patent Office to confirm that the applicant enjoys the patent right for his invention-creation, or refers to the patent document that records the content of the invention-creation, and refers to the specific material document.
