I have submitted a patent application, can I still write an academic paper?

Yes, you can, but you must get the patent application number before you submit the article, or at least you must get the patent application number before letting the magazine publish it. Because when evaluating the novelty of a patent application, the content of the patent application cannot be disclosed before the "patent application date" (including other people's patent applications, published papers, and the disclosure of one's own papers).

If the patent application date has not been confirmed and the paper has been published by a magazine, during the subsequent patent examination process, the examiner is likely to retrieve this published paper and point out that its content has been disclosed before the patent application date. As a result, the patent application is rejected due to lack of novelty, and the patent certificate cannot be obtained

Precautions for patent application

Before applying for a patent, it is best to conduct a search to determine the content of the invention. It belongs to "prior art". If the content to be applied for has been recorded in the searched patent documents or other public publications, it may affect the prospect of authorization of the application. In addition, even if there is no document record, if others can determine that it is. Common knowledge in this field will also lead to the rejection of the patent application.

Summary: Patent application is a serious issue involving the ownership of the labor results of an individual or a team, so you should know more before applying. Understand the situation so that the patent application can be passed quickly and the certificate can be obtained.
