Can an entrepreneurial idea be patented? Introduction of patent application conditions
What I used to think of as an office snack shelf has now become a reality. Can young people with entrepreneurial dreams apply for patents? Bian Xiao, Bajie Intellectual Property, raised a question for young people who also have entrepreneurial dreams. Such as technology or production process, or it makes the product structure better. Or in appearance. You can apply for three different patents. Namely invention patent, utility model patent and appearance patent. As you said, to protect this kind of thinking depends mainly on what kind of thinking it is. The way of protection can be trademarks, copyrights, patents and so on in intellectual property rights. The idea you said can't be patented. Because according to the patent law, if your idea belongs to the rules and methods of intellectual activities, you can't be granted a patent right. If your idea is a technical solution to solve technical problems by technical means, you can apply for a patent. And your service process creativity should belong to the rules of intellectual activities, so you can't apply for a patent.
