Should patents be made public first?

Patents should be made public first, because for an application for a patent for invention, because the examination time is long, it must be made public before substantive examination. Where the applicant requests the early publication of his application for a patent for invention, he shall make a statement to the patent administration department of the State Council. In addition to rejecting the application, the administrative department for patent in the State Council shall publish the application immediately after preliminary examination.
