I want to apply for a patent for my Chinese medicine formula. What kind does this belong to?

Hello, pharmaceutical patents usually refer to patents on products, methods and uses including Chinese medicine, chemical medicine and biological medicine. In a narrow sense, drug patents refer to drugs that need to be approved by drug regulatory authorities, which leads to many special provisions that are different from patents in other fields. So I suggest you apply for an invention patent for your medicine. The application period of an invention patent is the longest among patents, which takes about 13-22 months. You can apply early and get protection as soon as possible.
