Legal analysis: Invention refers to a new technical solution proposed for a product, method or improvement thereof. An invention must be a technical solution, which is the result of the inventor's application and combination of natural laws in a specific technical field, rather than the natural laws themselves. Therefore, scientific discoveries do not fall within the category of inventions.
Legal basis: "Patent Law of the People's Republic of China" Article 56 The scope of protection of invention or utility model patent rights shall be based on the content of the claims. The description and drawings may be used on interpreting claims. The scope of protection of a design patent shall be subject to the design patent product shown in pictures or photos.
