Intellectual property: a source of inspiration for superhard materials companies

In the process of enterprise development, intellectual property rights are not only a solid shield against the violation of their rights, but also a sword that others can attack at any time when they infringe on themselves; using good intellectual property can not only help enterprises grow rapidly, continue to innovate, but also Can turn waste into treasure, looking for business opportunities.

How many people in the enterprise really understand intellectual property? This question is indeed worth thinking about. If you don't understand it, you can't talk about it, let alone use it well. If intellectual property is used well, it can become a way of making money for the enterprise and a source of inspiration.

The following summarizes several rules in the use of intellectual property:

First, the most direct and important use of intellectual property is protection. In the market economy activities, the most basic role of intellectual property rights is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of rights holders from infringement.

Second, intellectual property rights can be used as a means of capital injection to solve the urgent needs of entrepreneurs. The English of intellectual property is the Interlectual property. As the name suggests, intellectual property is property and valuable. Therefore, when a partnership is started, the technicians with shortage of funds can use the intellectual property held by the company as a capital contribution. In China, intellectual property rights are used as assets to invest in shares, up to 70%.

Third, as a monopoly right, intellectual property rights can be used to obtain certain benefits through “licensed use”. Intellectual property rights holders, especially those in the early-stage period, must minimize the use of resources in your hands and obtain royalties through “licensed use” to alleviate financial difficulties. But pay attention to the reasonable range of licenses.

Fourth, intellectual property has financing value. As a valuable right, intellectual property rights can be obtained through bank pledges. Here, you can share a successful case of using patent pledge loans.

However, there are also some entrepreneurs and R&D personnel who do not know how to effectively use intellectual property rights. They have a weak awareness of patent applications and new searches, and therefore often suffer from this. The most common one is repeated research and development. Many developers, after the end of research and development, discovered that this technology may have existed many years ago. It wastes time and energy, even if it is developed, it has no right to use it.

The necessary patent search and search can greatly improve the starting point of research and development and reduce the cost of research and development. As far as the technological development of today's society is concerned, there are few things that can be completely originalized from the roots, and most of the innovations are improved. Because of this, if researchers can pay more attention to the past patent information, and learn from the technology of the predecessors, and then improve and improve, it is an effective way to improve the speed of innovation and the quality of innovation. According to research, using the patent information resources of the predecessors can reduce the research and development costs by 40%-60%.

In addition, idle patents are an important source of entrepreneurial ideas. Anyone familiar with patent knowledge knows that idle patents are a huge treasure. For entrepreneurs, the use of these idle patents can greatly increase the success rate of entrepreneurship.

A large part of the idle patents exist on the university campus. Teachers and technicians in universities and research institutes generally apply for patents after the completion of research and development of scientific research projects. However, after patent applications, they have not been able to be transformed into productivity in a timely and proactive manner for various reasons. Especially for patents applied by colleges and universities, college students may be more exposed to such patent resources than others. Using such patents to start a business not only reduces the waste of social resources, but also enables teachers who hold patents to join the venture. With the guidance of a mentor, the chances of success in starting a business will be greatly improved. Therefore, idle patents in universities should be an important way for college entrepreneurs to acquire projects.

Another type of idle patent comes from expired, unprotected patents. Expired patents enter the public domain and become public resources of the society. Entrepreneurs can search for the parts of their interest as the direction of entrepreneurship from these massive information. Although these patented technologies have lost their protection, they are not necessarily bad. Entrepreneurs should change their minds. As long as you can turn these technologies into products that the public likes and can occupy the market, then, for entrepreneurs, your The purpose has been reached.

Effective patent layout allows intellectual property to be used to its full potential. Intellectual property rights are the labor results of R&D personnel. As an important resource for the growth and development of enterprises, they should be paid attention to from the layout of the first application to the follow-up application.

Starting with the application, the application for intellectual property rights is like marching in the march. It is necessary to understand the rational layout and pay attention to the strategy. The development of a technology consists of multiple core technologies. In the process of applying for a patent, these core technologies cannot be placed in one patent, but multiple patents are required to achieve the purpose of protection. Therefore, for the protection of intellectual property rights, it is necessary to form a patent distribution network from point to point, rather than a scattered point.

Moreover, the application for intellectual property rights is not a once-and-for-all process, but an ongoing process. On the basis of the original innovation, if there is continuous innovation, it is necessary to apply for the patent in a timely manner. Otherwise, it may be seized by others to seize the opportunity to apply for patents for subsequent improvements, and the original developers will lose the right to use subsequent improvements.

Finally, when a company accumulates more patents, it needs to have a special person to manage it to prevent patent invalidation due to the failure to renew the annual fee. In the cases that were actually exposed, many companies lost their rights to the patents due to negligence in the day-to-day management of patent renewals.

Intellectual property rights are a treasure for both enterprises and entrepreneurs. For entrepreneurs, if they want to use intellectual property rights, they must change their thinking, turn waste into treasure, and make their entrepreneurial road wider.
