What are the characteristics of invention patents?

1, exclusive

Appropriateness is also called "exclusivity". The so-called exclusivity means that the patentee enjoys the exclusive right to manufacture, use, sell and import and export his invention and creation.

2. Regionality

According to the principle of patent independence stipulated in the Paris Convention, the regionality of patent right means that the patent right granted by a country according to its own patent law is only valid within the legal jurisdiction of that country and is not binding on other countries. A foreign country does not undertake the obligation to protect its patent, and only obtains a patent right for an invention in China, then the patentee only enjoys the patent right or exclusive right in China.

Step 3 be timely

The so-called temporality means that the exclusive right granted by the patentee to his invention and creation is only valid within the time limit prescribed by law. After the expiration of the time limit, the patentee no longer enjoys the exclusive right to manufacture, use, sell, promise to sell and import his invention and creation. At this point, inventions protected by law have become public wealth of society, and any unit or individual can use them free of charge.

4. Persistence

The patent laws of all countries clearly stipulate that the protection period of the invention patent right generally ranges from 10-20 years from the date of application; The term of utility model and design patent is 5- 10 years in most countries, while the term of protection of invention patent, utility model patent and design patent in China is 20 years from the date of filing, 10 years and 10 years respectively.

5. Invisible

Patent right is intangible, and many people often take this feature of patent right as the object of protection-the technology protected by patent right is actually the patent right itself. Otherwise, as far as a trademark is concerned, its object is a pattern, which is obviously not intangible.
