The origin of patent
The patent laws of most countries do not define invention, and scholars have different opinions on the definition of invention. Through the understanding and analysis of the provisions of patent laws in various countries, it can be considered that invention is a technical solution put forward by inventors to specific problems by using natural laws. Therefore, China's "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law" points out that "the invention referred to in the Patent Law refers to a new technical scheme proposed for a product, method or its improvement".
Review standard
The inventor can only succeed if he applies to the Patent Office for this technical scheme and passes a series of rigorous examinations, especially the examination of novelty, creativity and practicality.
Authorization rate of invention patent
Because of the strict examination of invention patents, as of 20 13, the authorization rate of invention patents published by People's Republic of China (PRC) and China National Intellectual Property Administration is 40%-50%, that is to say, the overall authorization rate of invention patents is less than half. Therefore, the risk of applying for a patent for invention is relatively high, so we must make full preparations.
application expenses
Grant a patent right to an application for a patent for invention that meets the requirements. The applicant should also go through the registration formalities on schedule and pay the annual fee for the current year, so that the application for a patent for invention can formally become an invention patent with various patent attributes. In order to encourage society's enthusiasm for invention and creation, most local governments in China provide special financial support to individuals and enterprises applying for patents, which can be inquired by local science and technology bureaus.
