The disclosure period of an application for a patent for invention stipulates that the patent law of our country stipulates different disclosure methods for an application for a patent for invention and an application for a patent for utility model or design. An application for a patent for invention shall be published after 18 months from the date of filing. 1. An application for a patent for invention is subject to substantive examination, and the examination period is long. If the contents of the application are made public after the substantive examination is completed, the possibility of repeated research, investment and application on the same subject will be greatly increased, and the role of the patent system will not be well played. Second, if this disclosure is made in the future, the applicant will have more time to finally decide whether to disclose his technology or prepare to disclose it. 3. After filing a patent application for the first time in a foreign country, the applicant still enjoys the priority period of 12 months in China, and may not file a patent application in China before the expiration of this period. However, after he filed a patent application in China, it will take some time for China National Intellectual Property Administration to conduct a preliminary examination and publish it, so it is stipulated that it will be published after 18 months.
