(3) Methods of diagnosis and treatment of diseases;
(4) Species of animals and plants;

In China, patents follow the principle of "application first", that is, if two or more applicants apply for patents for the same invention and creation respectively, the patent right will be granted to the first applicant. Therefore, in market economy activities, it is helpful for enterprises to apply for patent protection in time for inventions and creations that meet the requirements of patent application, because patents have exclusive implementation.
