Does the patent application need to provide physical objects?

Patent application does not need physical objects or technical solutions, as long as the patented technology is feasible in theory. Practicality, novelty and creativity required by the patent law are enough.

The application documents to be submitted when applying for a patent, if they are inventions or utility models, include the claims, the claims, the specification and the attached drawings of the specification.

Among them, the claim clearly and concisely expresses the content of the request for protection and is an important document to determine the scope of patent protection. The specification and drawings are used to explain the claims, so that the technical scheme expressed in the claims can be realized by the technicians in the field according to the specification and drawings.

The application documents to be submitted when applying for a patent, if it is a design document, shall include a design request, a design picture and a brief description of the design.

Among them, the pictures of the design determine the protection scope of the design patent, and the brief description of the design is used to briefly explain the pictures that need to be protected in the design.
