2. Invention is an absolute concept, while innovation is a relative concept. For example, if you apply for a patent for invention-creation, you should first consider whether you made it first. If someone else has already done it, you can't apply for a patent. On the question of "initiative" or "first", it is absolute. Innovation is a relative concept, and it is not necessary to find out whether it is "the first" or "the first" like applying for a patent, and whether others have done it for the first time. Innovation has a relative scope. We don't have to consider whether anyone has done it in the department or system in the past. We should only know the extent of our work and what progress we will make in the future. This progress can be profitable. This is innovation.
3. Inventions include both positive inventions that promote social development and negative "inventions" that hinder social development; Innovation must be a positive creation to promote social development. For example, the development of computers is positive creation, while computer fortune-telling and computer viruses are negative creation; The development of nuclear science and technology is positive creation, while the development of nuclear weapons is negative creation; The development of biological and chemical sciences is positive creation, while biochemical weapons and drug refining technology are negative creation. However, innovation is different. No one will call pseudoscience or counterfeit technological innovation technological innovation.
4. Creation emphasis is the first initiative, or it can be a brand-new creation after total negation; Innovation emphasizes endless renewal, which is generally not a total negation of the original things, but usually spirals up in dialectical negation.
