How do soldiers apply for patents? Do military personnel need to submit patent applications to their superiors for approval, and are there any discounts on patent application fees?

There are preferential policies for military personnel when applying for a patent. By the way, applying for a patent does not require approval from your superiors, but you are a military member. So I suggest you'd better ask your superior for permission. What's the point? Think about it, if the country is not at war now, how do modern soldiers get promoted and how do they make a good impression on their superiors? Just by relying on these superficial skills, first of all, your patent can identify you as a talent, and maybe you will be awarded a third-class merit. Secondly, it does not require the approval of your superiors, but you still seek the opinions of your superiors. This will make you look like you Sincerely, your superiors will definitely look at you differently!
