US PATENTS 美国专利 A US Patent gives its owner the right to stop other businesses from using the invention as claimed in the patent. It can be an important part of establishing a strong brand name. 美国专利能在别家公司盗用专利中发明的产品时,给予专利拥有者阻止盗用专利的公司的法定权利。 它会成为创造一个有力的品牌的重要部分之一。 An issued US Patent is the strongest form of protection available in the US. It arises from a US Patent application. This gives rights in both federal and state courts. 美国专利局是美国最有力的专利保护措施。它从申请美国专利开始。联邦政府以及州政府都给予它应有的权利。 A patent application also confers good patent rights as soon as it is filed with the US Patent Office, and can serve as a kind of shield against attacks by competitors. We believe it may be the most important type of protection. 专利申请从呈交给美国专利局的那一刻起就给予申请者有利的专利权利,并能够成为阻挡竞争公司攻击的盾牌。 我们相信它就是最重要的一种保护措施。 Patent rights of other kinds arise from Provisional patent applications. These are the easiest to file, and the least costly. We recommend using them as much as possible. After one year, a Provisional patent application must be converted into regular US patent application. 其他的专利权利能从临时专利中获得。这是最容易申请的一种专利,也是费用最低的一种。我们建议您多多利用这种专利。但一年过后,临时专利必须要转换成正规的美国专利。 All the above patent rights can be enforced in US courts. Most retailers and other businesses respect US patent rights, so that court action is normally not needed. 以上叙述的所有专利权利都可以通过美国法院执行。大部分销售商以及其它公司都会遵从美国专利,所以法律行为在正常情况下是不需要的。 Having a US Patent application gives a right of priority to file patent applications in other countries. This can be very valuable. There is a time limit of one year from the date of the filing of the US Patent application for doing this. 拥有美国专利让您在申请其它国家的专利时给您优先权。这可能会非常宝贵。从呈交美国专利申请时开始,您拥有一年的时间期限在其他国家优先申请专利。 HOW TO GET A US PATENT 如何获得美国专利 We help companies get US Patents. 我们帮助公司获得美国专利 The information we need: 我们需要的资料: a description of the invention, and any available drawings; 发明的商品的介绍,以及所有相关图画 the name of the company that will own the patent and its correspondence address; and 将要拥有该专利的公司名称及联系地址 the name of the inventor(s) and their correspondence addresses. 发明该商品的发明家以及他(们)的联系地址 What we do: 我们做什么: We conduct a simple patent search to see if the patent is already in use.
