What are the conditions for approving a patent application?

The novelty and novelty of invention patent and utility model patent (1) means that the invention or utility model does not belong to the prior art; No unit or individual filed an application for the same invention or utility model with the administrative department for patent in the State Council before the filing date, and it was recorded in the patent application documents published or announced after the filing date. In some special cases, although the invention or utility model for which a patent is applied has been made public before the filing date or priority date, it is still novel if a patent application is filed within a certain period of time. According to the provisions of China's patent law, the invention-creation applying for a patent will not lose its novelty in any of the following circumstances within six months before the filing date: 1, which was exhibited for the first time at an international exhibition sponsored or recognized by the China government; 2, published for the first time in the provisions of the academic conference or technical conference; 3. Others disclose their contents without the consent of the applicant. (2) Creativity means that compared with the prior art, the invention has outstanding substantive features and remarkable progress, and the utility model has substantive features and progress. For example, patented inventions solve technical problems that people are eager to solve but have not solved; Patent invention overcomes technical prejudice; The patented invention has achieved unexpected technical effects; This patented invention is a commercial success. Whether the invention patent is creative depends on whether the invention is novel. (3) Practicality Practicality means that the invention or utility model can be manufactured or used and can produce positive effects. The invention or utility model for which a patent is applied lacks technical means, the technical scheme for which a patent is applied violates the laws of nature, or the technical scheme completed by using unique natural conditions is not practical. Let's talk about design patents again: According to the Patent Law, novelty and aesthetics are the necessary conditions for a design to obtain a patent right. (1) Novelty means that the design for which a patent is applied is not the same or similar to the design that has been published in domestic and foreign publications before the filing date, or is not the same or similar to the design that has been publicly used in China before the filing date. (2) Aesthetics Aesthetics means that when the design is used in products, it can make people feel beautiful and increase the attractiveness of products to consumers.
