Yes, but you must apply for priority within 12 months. If it is more than 12 months, you'd better not apply, otherwise it will constitute a conflict of previous applications, and you will be in trouble then. If you want to make a difficult decision, just choose one. Ha ha.
Inventions mentioned in the patent law can be divided into product inventions (such as machines, instruments, equipment and appliances) and method inventions (manufacturing methods). Inventions in some technical fields are not patented, such as diagnosis and treatment of diseases and substances obtained by nuclear transformation. The invention of computer software depends on whether it belongs to simple computer software or special software that can be combined with hardware and treated differently. The latter can apply for patent protection. With the change of censorship standards, simple computer software can also be patented separately at present, and it is no longer necessary to combine with hardware. As for inventions involving microorganisms, you can also apply for invention patents. However, the certificate of microbial preservation shall be submitted on schedule.
The patent for utility model, also called small invention or small patent, is the object of patent right and the object of patent law protection, and refers to the utility model that should be granted patent right according to law. Utility model usually refers to a new practical technical scheme for the shape, structure or combination of products.
Difference from invention
The difference between utility model and invention lies in: first, utility model is limited to products with a certain shape, and it cannot be a method or a product without a fixed shape; Second, the utility model is not too creative, but it is very practical. The shape of a product refers to the definite spatial shape that the product has and can be observed from the outside. The technical scheme proposed for product shape can be the technical scheme proposed for product three-dimensional shape, such as the improvement of cam shape and cutter shape; It can also be a technical scheme of two-dimensional shape of products, such as the improvement of sectional shape of profiles. The structure of a product refers to the arrangement, organization and interrelation of various components of the product. The product structure can be either a mechanical structure or a circuit structure. Mechanical structure refers to the relative position relationship, connection relationship and necessary mechanical cooperation relationship between components that make up a product, and circuit structure refers to the determined connection relationship between components that make up a product. The composite layer can be considered as the structure of the product, and the carburized layer and oxide layer of the product belong to the composite layer structure.
Hey, it's up to you whether you add extra points or not. If you don't understand, add me. QQ: 1006265993。
