The main purpose of applying for a patent is to:

Firstly, determining the ownership relationship of invention and creation rights through legal procedures can effectively protect the results of invention and creation, monopolize the market, and obtain maximum economic benefits. Timely patent application is to prevent the invention and creation results from being used arbitrarily by others and losing their due value.

Secondly, timely patent application is to gain initiative in market competition, prevent competitors from applying for patents for the same invention or creation, and ensure the safety and reliability of one's own product production and sales.
