If an individual applies for a patent, will it be copied by people in the patent office?

The working environment of patent office examiners is very rigorous. They can't carry any electronic products during their work, and use the computer and work phone of the National Information Bureau in a unified way. The content inside is completely impossible to copy.

The patent for utility model will not be made public before it is granted, but the technical content of the application for utility model is generally low. Even if the examiner copies your patent content in his mind and rejects your patent application, it is basically meaningless.

Invention patents will be published online during the substantive examination stage. Consciousness means that as long as you pay the substantive examination fee, they will be published online. After publication, existing technology will be formed. It is not feasible for anyone to apply for a patent with the same technical scheme. Even if your patent is not authorized in the end, no one else can copy it.
