Has Panda Express applied for a patent? Can this type of idea be patented?

This slow delivery method cannot be patented. The invention or utility model that can be patented must be a technical solution to solve a technical problem. This slow delivery method is not a technical solution and does not solve the technical problem. Therefore, it does not meet the definition of invention and creation and cannot be patented.

Think about it carefully, whether this method is fast or slow, how fast or how slow is just a human-made rule, and should fall under Article 25 of the Patent Law, which does not grant patent rights. The object "rules and methods of intellectual activities" lists "management methods and systems in organization, production, commercial implementation, and economics;" I think the slow delivery method should fall under this article.
