Principle of patent application
According to the basic principle of patent law, only one patent right can be granted to the same invention. When two or more people file patent applications for the same invention-creation, there are two principles: one is the principle of invention priority, and the other is the principle of application priority.
The principle of prior invention means that if two or more people apply for a patent for the same invention-creation, the patent right shall be granted to the person who completed the invention-creation first, regardless of the time when he filed the patent application. However, when adopting this principle, we often encounter many practical difficulties in determining who is the first inventor. Therefore, only a few countries in the world such as the United States, Canada and the Philippines have adopted this principle.
The principle of first application means that when two or more people apply for the same invention separately, the time when they make the invention is taken as the standard, that is, the patent right is granted to the first applicant, which is the practice adopted by most countries in China and the world.
