What is the classification of patents in China? Is it different from patents in other countries?
Intellectual property is a very important project. Because each country's economy, politics and culture are different, the patent system may be different. For example, the patent classification in China is somewhat different from that in other countries. Although each country's patent law system is different, it actually leads to the same goal. Therefore, applying for a patent in China is essentially the same as applying for a foreign patent. What are the classification of patents in China and China? Most countries apply for patents in three categories, which are essentially the same, sometimes with different names but actually with the same intention. There are three categories of patents in China, namely, utility model patents, invention patents and design patents. Here, we need to know the meanings and differences of these three patents. Some patentees sometimes confuse the difference between utility model patents and invention patents. First of all, let's learn about invention patents. What is an invention patent? Invention patents are patents with high technical content and relatively high gold content among the three types of patents. It is the invention of the other party, which refers to the new technical scheme proposed for the product, method or its improvement. The utility model patent is mainly an application for the internal structure of the product, or an improvement or addition to the related methods; An application for a patent for appearance is a patent related to the appearance, shape and color of a product. With the gradual increase in the number of patent applications, China's patent applications show a dominant way to occupy the market with patent technology. The biggest advantage of patent is that it can monopolize the patent acquisition market. However, some problems in the patent market in recent years have caused a lot of patent waste by taking advantage of patent loopholes. These bubble patents are basically formed for obtaining patent law, so the patent market in China has yet to be rectified.
