The patent right was obtained after applying to the Intellectual Property Office for approval and authorization, and the copyright existed when the creation was completed.
There are three kinds of patents, one is called design, that is, the appearance of the product, which protects the combination of aesthetic shapes, patterns and colors. No one else can use this design without your permission. The other two are called inventions and utility models, which protect technical schemes and methods to improve shapes, structures or their combinations. After authorization, no one else can use this technical solution without your permission.
We can distinguish them in this way: in order to prosper and enrich their lives, some people will write books, make music, songs, movies and television to enrich their cultural life. These created things are protected by copyright law, which benefits the creators and favors cultural life; Some people also carry out various novel aesthetic designs on the appearance of various products, which brings people an artistic aesthetic feeling and tends to artistic creation (of course, this kind of creation is different from painting); Some people also put forward various new schemes to solve various problems in production and life at the technical level, providing people with the means to solve various problems and leaning towards technology. The latter two are protected by patent law, while the former is protected by copyright law. In other words, they all protect people's creative achievements, but the things created by people have different attributes, different classifications, different corresponding laws and different rights.
