Can a reformed prisoner get a reduced sentence if he applies for and obtains a patent?

You can get administrative rewards when you apply for a patent. According to the benefits and contribution of the patent, you can get administrative rewards such as major meritorious service, meritorious service, or (the standards and names of the prisons in different provinces are different). This kind of administrative reward is only a necessary condition for commutation, and it is not a sufficient condition for the calculation of the commutation range. It is a "can" commutation, not a commutation that should be.

the range of commutation is calculated according to the amount of administrative reward, and it needs to meet certain standards and conditions before commutation. The calculation method of commutation range of administrative reward is unified in all provinces, such as meritorious service and commutation for six months.

It can only be said that under normal circumstances, prisons will not waste the administrative rewards obtained by prisoners. Therefore, if you want to reduce the sentence, administrative rewards are king. If you get more rewards, you will have a greater chance of reducing the sentence and a greater extent.
