What's the difference between patent acceptance and authorization?

Legal analysis: Patent acceptance and patent authorization are different states in the process of patent application. If a patent wants to apply for authorization, it must be accepted first, which does not mean that the acceptance notice is received, which means that the project review is successful.

Legal basis: Article 2 of the Patent Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) Invention-creation as mentioned in this Law refers to inventions, utility models and designs.

Invention refers to a new technical scheme proposed for a product, method or its improvement.
