The invention or utility model can be manufactured and used, and can produce positive effects, which refers to the practicality of the patent.
The criteria for judging the practicality of a patent are as follows:
First, an invention-creation with practicality should be able to be manufactured or used, that is, it should be enforceable.
to put an invention into practice, it must have a specific plan. An invention with only one idea and no specific embodiment is called an unfinished invention. Unfinished inventions are not implementable, so they are not practical.
if a scheme itself violates the laws of nature, then no matter how ingenious the invention is, it is definitely not practical. Because it is impossible to implement inventions that violate the laws of nature.
another meaning of enforceability is to require an invention to be implemented repeatedly. Although some schemes are detailed and specific, they cannot be implemented repeatedly in industry, and they are also not feasible.
second, a practical invention must bring positive effects, that is, be beneficial.
Beneficial here refers to the positive effects that an invention can have on social and economic development and the construction of material and spiritual civilization. Usually, this positive effect can be manifested as improving product quality. Improve the working and production environment, save energy, reduce environmental pollution, reduce production costs and so on.
characteristics of patent practicality:
practicality: the invention or utility model must be able to be manufactured in industry, or the invention method can be used in industry. If the creative achievement is only theoretical, it cannot be patented.
Reproducibility: The theme of an application for a patent for an invention or utility model that is practical should be repeatable.
Beneficial: Inventions and utility models with practicality should have positive effects. This is from the social attribute of inventions, which requires them to provide positive and beneficial effects in the future practical implementation. The positive benefits are usually manifested in improving product quality, increasing product output, saving raw materials, reducing costs, improving labor productivity, improving working conditions, preventing and controlling environmental pollution, etc.
