What are the types of patents? What are the characteristics of patent right? There are three kinds of patents stipulated in China's patent law: invention patent, utility model patent and design patent. Let's take a closer look at the types of patents. What are the characteristics of patent right? Types of patents What are the types of patents? An invention refers to a new technical scheme proposed for a product, method or its improvement. Method invention divided into product invention and technical scheme. Product invention refers to all inventions that appear in tangible form, that is, using objects to express their inventions, such as machines, equipment, instruments, supplies, etc. Method invention refers to the invention that the technical scheme provided by the inventor is aimed at a certain substance to produce new technical effects. Methods The technical scheme of the invention was expressed by operation mode and technological process. Utility model refers to a new technical scheme suitable for practical use for the shape, structure or combination of products. The utility model patent only protects products with certain shapes, and products and methods without fixed shapes and designs featuring simple plane patterns are not protected here. Because utility model patents and applications have the characteristics of no substantive examination, short approval period and low cost, the number of applications for this type of patents accounts for 2/3 of the total number of patent applications. Appearance design refers to a new design that is aesthetically pleasing and suitable for industrial application, that is, the style of the product, based on the shape, pattern or combination of the product and the combination of color and shape and pattern. It also includes designs featuring simple plane patterns. What are the characteristics of patent right? Proprietary: Proprietary, also known as exclusivity, refers to the exclusive right of the patentee to manufacture, use, sell and import his invention. Regionality: Unless an international convention or bilateral reciprocal agreement is signed, it means that the patent right granted by a country according to its own patent law is only valid within its jurisdiction and is not binding on other countries, and foreign countries do not undertake the obligation to protect their patent rights. Timeliness: The patentee's exclusive right to his invention and creation is only valid within the time stipulated by law. After the expiration of the time limit, the patentee no longer enjoys the exclusive right to manufacture, use, sell and import his invention and creation. At this time, any unit or individual can use this technology for free.
