美国专利申请如何做,美国专利申请有哪些选择?


美国专利申请Patent Applications

在完成专利申请时,您有多种选择,具体取决于您希望申请的专利。美国专利商标局 (USPTO) 承认两种主要类型的专利申请,即外观设计专利申请和实用新型专利申请。每个申请都寻求对发明不同方面的保护。

外观设计专利应用(Design Patent Applications)

设计专利申请寻求确保保护用于本发明的非功能性的,装饰或美学方面。这些基本上代表了本发明的外观。例如,新跑鞋的发明者可能希望为鞋子的独特外观提交设计专利申请,该外观与鞋子的性能或功能分开并独立。外观设计专利申请获得美国专利商标局批准后,有效期为自颁发之日起 15 年。

实用新型专利申请(Utility Patent Applications)

实用新型专利申请侧重于发明的实用方面,这直接关系到发明的工作方式或功能。例如,跑鞋的发明者可能希望为鞋子的革命性鞋底申请专利,这可以帮助穿着者跑更长的距离,或者其独特的鞋带在跑步时不会松开。实用专利一旦获得美国专利商标局的批准,自申请日起持续 20 年。

美国专利申请有哪些选择?

在考虑实用专利申请时,至少在最初阶段有两种选择:

临时专利申请(Provisional)

临时专利申请允许发明人快速且廉价地获得“专利待审”状态。美国专利商标局从不审查临时专利申请,它们在自申请之日起整整一年自动到期,届时,需要提交非临时申请。

非暂时申请案(Non-Provisional)

非暂时申请案专利申请通常更详细,需要一组专利权利要求来定义所寻求的保护范围。非临时专利申请一旦提交,将分配给美国专利商标局的专利审查员进行彻底审查。

在某些情况下,发明人可能会选择从临时专利申请开始,该申请可以作为美国专利商标局的“专利申请中”占位符,同时发明人会对其发明的细节进行微调。

重要的是要记住,在申请专利时,您应该迅速而秘密地采取行动,因为在申请提交日期之前的任何公开披露、销售或使用都可能对您的发明的可专利性产生负面影响。

此外,美国有“First-Inventor-to-File”专利制度,这意味着无论发明日期如何,申请日期都可以控制专利权。在任何情况下,在提交您的专利申请时,该发明不得 (a) 未被发明人以外的任何人公开披露、销售或使用,或 (b) 公开披露、销售或使用发明人一年多。
