What is a national patent?

National patent has two meanings:

1, used in spoken language, means "exclusive"

2. There are three confusing meanings in intellectual property rights, including:

First, the patent right refers to the patent right enjoyed by the patentee, that is, the state grants the patentee or his successor the exclusive right to use his invention and creation within a certain period of time, and the emphasis here is on rights. Patent right is an exclusive right with exclusivity. If a non-patentee wants to use the patented technology of others, he must obtain the authorization or permission of the patentee according to law.

Second, it refers to inventions protected by the patent law, that is, patented technology, which is a proprietary technology recognized by the state and protected according to law on the basis of publicity. The "patent" here refers to the technology or scheme protected by national laws.

A patent is an invention protected by legal norms. It is an invention that submits a patent application to the national examination and approval authority, and after passing the examination according to law, it grants the patent applicant the exclusive right to enjoy the invention within the time specified by the state, and needs to pay an annual fee regularly to maintain the protection state.

Third, it refers to the patent certificate issued by the Patent Office to confirm that the applicant enjoys the patent right for his invention-creation, or refers to the patent document that records the content of the invention-creation, and refers to the specific material document.

The patent right granted by a country according to its patent law is only valid within the jurisdiction of that country and is not binding on other countries. Foreign countries do not undertake the obligation to protect their patent rights. If an invention is patented only in China, then the patentee only enjoys exclusive rights or exclusive rights in China.

The legal protection of patent right has timeliness. The term of invention patent right in China is 20 years, and the term of utility model patent right and design patent right is 10 years, counting from the date of application.
