To further strengthen employees’ awareness of patents and raise the company’s level of patent application, the company held a special training session on “Patentability Assessment and Drafting of Technical Solutions” on the morning of July 17, and invited Mr. Huang Xiaobing, an attorney from Jiangsu Liansheng Law Firm, to give the lecture. Specialized technical personnel from product R&D, engineering technology, production management and other related functions attended the training.
Attorney Huang provided a detailed interpretation focusing on invention patents and utility model patents. The training covered the types of patents, the composition of patent documents, patent application procedures, the assessment of the patentability of technical solutions, the inventiveness of invention patents, and the drafting of patent technical disclosure documents. Drawing on relevant cases and everyday examples, he analyzed in accessible terms the novelty, inventiveness and utility of patents, and explained their exclusivity, territoriality and term limits. After the lecture, Attorney Huang gave detailed answers to the hot questions of concern to engineering and technical staff, such as how to identify patentable subject matter and how to draft patent applications.
As the country pays increasing attention to the protection of intellectual property rights, patents, as an important embodiment of the company’s innovative achievements, help maintain its competitive advantage in the market. Participants said that the training had given them a deeper understanding of patents and equipped them with methods for drafting patent documents, and that they would apply what they had learned, think more in their work, propose more creative technical solutions to technical problems, and contribute to the company’s innovation-driven development.
