I made a mascot toy. Can I apply for copyright? Or how to protect my work.

Patent application: patents are divided into inventions, utility models and designs.

Your work belongs to the patented design.

It is best to go to the local patent office to provide goods, if it is convenient to carry.

Other matters that should be handled by the patent office, such as 85% fee reduction. You only need to submit the reduced application fee, 75 yuan+the agency fee of the Patent Office. The charges vary from place to place, but they will not exceed 1000. After all, the metropolitan area has a government subsidy and incentive policy: there are about several hundred subsidies in the city+district, and 300+65,438+0,000 in Taian.

The subsidy should wait for the admission notice, just hold the 1 ID card 2 invoice (application fee+agency fee) 3 admission notice.

In general, the license is granted in 8 months, and the protection time is 10 year. Of course, the patent right can be abandoned in advance, because the fee reduction is only three years, and the annual fee will be paid in the next few years.

If you have any questions, please leave me a message.
