Is the authorization number a patent number?

The patent authorization number, also known as the patent number, is called the patent application number before authorization, and generally uses year+patent type code+a series of numbers. After authorization, add ZL in front of the application number to indicate authorization.

Not every application can be authorized in the technology patent submitted by the applicant. Especially invention patents. The audit is particularly strict. If there are some problems with your technology, the National Knowledge Bureau will not grant this technology patent. If the patented technology can be authorized, the National Information Bureau will first send an authorization notice to the applicant. Getting the authorization notice means that this technology has become a patent.
