"... Speaking of which, I am also a graduate student now."
If a patent for an invention with a good idea is poorly written, the patent may not be granted or may be invalidated by other interested parties. It is no exaggeration to say that this thing is just as troublesome as a lawsuit.
After filling out the materials, Lu Zhou didn't worry about the specific patent application process himself. Instead, he directly found a reliable agency for help.
Just as Lu Zhou was away from work, a wisp of jasmine fragrance suddenly floated over from the side.
Surprise... I can't even call it a surprise, but the surprise was really unexpected.
Looking at the stunned Lu Zhou, Chen Yushan felt a little proud, pursed her lips, smiled, and said happily.
When he saw the person sitting next to him, Lu Zhou was immediately surprised. He almost thought he had a heat stroke and was hallucinating...
As she said this, there was a hint of complaint in the senior sister's eyes.
For example, in a laboratory doing this topic.
After the patent application process began, Lu Zhou returned his energy to the Polignac conjecture.
Apply a layer of paint to the electrode material, and some people dare to claim to have solved the lithium dendrite problem.
Although it costs a lot of money, it is worth it to protect intellectual property.
Not to mention, she even offered to treat him.
There are patent applications for lithium anode materials almost every once in a while, and there are countless patent applications.
Frowning slightly, Lu Zhou suddenly realized the problem. He coughed lightly and reminded him tactfully.
However, with the birth of new technologies, the interests of some people will inevitably be touched.
Moreover, it was rare for her to come back from Shangjing, so there was no way he could leave her alone. The relationship between the two was still good.
In fact, Lu Zhou, who was applying for a patent for the first time, didn't know that his caution was completely unfounded.
"Junior, junior, how do you write this question?"
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know that I’m already a graduate student, but you still call me junior fellow student after you know about it. Who’s going too far
Whether it is contact with the auditor or subsequent defense, the workload is quite tedious, and even the formal patent document involves a lot of knowledge.
As for the reasons for this, on the one hand, many scientific research projects require patents, especially horizontal topics. If you can’t see the patent, who cares how many SCI papers you can publish, companies are not even interested in investing.
Proving a mathematical conjecture may only kill a dozen papers that were originally expected to be published. However, if you are the first to get there in a certain technical field, you may kill something as simple as a few papers, but an investment of tens of millions or even more. Billions of research projects, and the researchers who originally served this bowl of rice.
In fact, this is also the choice of many small and medium-sized enterprises, laboratories and individuals.
In two or three years, if they are still at JJTU, maybe they will have to respectfully call themselves Professor Lu
"… All right."
"It's really surprising..."
The person in charge of serving as his patent agent is a thirty-year-old middle-aged uncle named Han Tianyu. Judging from his professional resume, this agent is quite reliable, but his weather-beaten professional smile always reminds Lu Zhou of people who sell insurance in banks.
Chen Yushan blinked and was not as surprised as Lu Zhou expected. She just said in a normal way: "I know, I heard Meng Qi tell me a long time ago that you graduated at the beginning of this year. Speaking of which, you actually... It would be too much not to tell me!"
Once the bottleneck of lithium anode materials is broken, the entire battery industry will benefit. Whether it is mobile phone charging or new energy vehicles, with the solution of the lithium dendrite problem, many problems will be solved, and things that were originally impossible to achieve will become possible.
"How about it, junior fellow student, are you surprised to see senior sister? Unexpected or not."
Lu Zhou: "..."
The implication is that in terms of seniority, we are already on the same level.
Seeing them, Lu Zhou couldn't help but sigh.
For example, the design of the battery itself, such as the design of a production line for new batteries.
From domestic patent application to patent internationalization, we provide one-stop service. The other party guaranteed everything, guaranteed to handle it as quickly as possible, and signed a confidentiality agreement.
Social resources here can refer to scientific research funding or researchers.
By the way, didn’t she get admitted to Yanda University? Why did you come back to Jinda...
With an embarrassed expression on her face, Chen Yushan pointed her index finger at the door and whispered, "How about... I treat you to something to drink?"
Therefore, it is not without reason that the patent agent examination is one of the most difficult examinations in the country.
Of course, one of the most critical factors that contributes to the flooding of the patent database is that patents are different from journals. In the latter, your paper will undergo strict peer review. Even if it is published, someone will take your paper and review it. Try it again and again in the laboratory and find your faults.
MMP!
As for the former, the auditor will only verify whether your design conflicts with existing patents, and will not examine whether your patent is really that awesome from a professional perspective.
Shrouded in the aura of resentment, he couldn't stay in this place any longer.
Out of caution, he didn't brag too hard, and just used "an improved polydimethylsiloxane nanopore film" as the reason for the application. As for the role of this invention, he filled in that "it can protect negative electrode material".
Just when he was about to say something, a heavy cough suddenly came from the front.
Just like the publications in periodicals, the patent database is full of absurd and bizarre stories.
Journals cannot yet guarantee that every “breakthrough” technology is authentic and reliable, let alone patents
The breath of a single dog instantly made the originally fresh air feel heavy.
After returning to his dormitory, Lu Zhou began to fill in the materials needed to apply for a patent, briefly explaining what the patent he wanted to register was.
And if you think about it from another perspective, these social resources that were originally wasted on lithium anode materials will be able to be moved to other scientific research projects with greater potential as the lithium dendrite problem is solved.
"Where's the question? Let's take a look... Senior?!"
Unless he sells the experimental data everywhere, or waits until the patent is approved, then writes his experiment in a paper and publishes it in a journal that is widely watched by people in the industry...
Lu Zhou glanced around. Although he was reluctant to leave the calculations that he had not yet finished, he still nodded.
Of course, Lu Zhou could not hesitate because of such a trivial matter. The patents that should be registered must still be registered, and the papers that should be published should be published.
Generally, large enterprises will have a dedicated department for patent management, but Lu Zhou obviously does not have that team. The best choice is naturally to find a reliable agency to help.
The expressions of the two of them were slightly awkward, not because they were single, but because they suddenly realized that they were in the library.
Lu Zhou could even guess that no one would notice the value of this technology from the time his patent was disclosed to the time the patent documents were issued.
Another reason is policy. Many companies still use the same old thinking when "going global" and treat others as fools, causing the country to suffer a lot on patent issues. In order to catch up with the gap with developed countries, the State Intellectual Property Office has been relatively liberal in patent applications in recent years, and even has subsidy policies for patent applicants and enterprises.
In fact, for him, his daily life has not changed much. The only difference is that the place he enters and exits has changed from the laboratory to the library, and the people beside him have changed from a lot of experimental equipment to a person who is busy writing and preparing for war. The seniors who are taking the postgraduate entrance examination... Oh no, it's time to call them juniors and juniors now.
Wait, something seems wrong.
Gee, it’s quite exciting to think about it.
…
After poking his arm, the man asked quietly from the side with a hint of cunning in his voice.
