Why publish a paper or journal? Why not apply for a patent directly?

Their functions and roles are different, and their application scenarios are also different.

Publishing a paper is actually like a key way for researchers to verify their research results. At the same time, publishing a paper is also a way for researchers to communicate with their peers and share their research results with the help of words.

After applying for a patent and obtaining a patent right, we can not only protect our own invention achievements and prevent the loss of scientific research achievements, but also obtain monopoly profits to make up for R&D investment, which is also conducive to scientific and technological progress and economic development. You can occupy the market space of new technologies and their products by applying for patents, and get corresponding economic benefits.
