A new processing method is proposed for processing a certain material. Can this processing method and the system for realizing this method apply for invention patents separately?

Invention refers to a significant new scientific and technological achievement which is advanced and can be applied after practice. Utility model refers to the innovative design of the shape, structure or combination of articles, also known as gizmos.

technical methods can apply for invention patents; The system that realizes this method can apply for a utility model patent.

Of course, we still have to look at the specific technical solutions or products before we can judge what patents to apply for and how many patents we can apply for.

(1) Application for a patent for invention

1. Examination and approval process for an application for a patent for invention:

Patent application—acceptance—preliminary examination—publication—request for substantive examination—substantive examination—authorization

2. Documents to be submitted when applying for a patent for invention

1. Request: including the name of the invention patent, the name of the inventor or designer, the name of the applicant and the name of the applicant.

2) description: including the name of the invention patent, technical field, background technology, invention content, attached drawings and specific implementation.

3) the claim: explain the technical features of the invention and clearly and concisely state the contents of the request for protection.

4) drawings in the specification: invention patents often have drawings. If only words are enough to describe the technical scheme clearly and completely, there is no need to have drawings.

(II) Application for a patent for utility model

1. Examination and approval process for a patent for utility model

Patent application-acceptance-preliminary examination-announcement-authorization

2. Documents to be submitted for applying for a patent for utility model

1. Request: including the name of the patent for utility model, the name of the inventor or designer, the name and address of the applicant, etc. 2) Description: including the name, technical field, background technology, invention content, attached drawings and specific implementation mode of the utility model patent. The contents of the manual shall be written in detail, and the technical contents mentioned shall be subject to the realization of ordinary technicians in their technical fields after reading.
