Do you still need to evaluate scientific and technological achievements when you have a patent?

The first is to see what you do with it. If you get an authorized invention patent, it should be regarded as a scientific and technological achievement. According to the provisions of the patent law, utility model patents and design patents do not need substantive examination, and can be granted as long as they meet the formal requirements. In this case, the authorized utility model patent may not have novelty and creativity. Even for invention patents, many patents were invalidated and confirmed not to be novel. Therefore, the invention or utility model patent is not necessarily not covered by the novelty retrieval report. If they are university teachers, ordinary university teachers can declare the success of scientific research projects with invention patents. The point is to authorize inventions.
