Global space patent

Paragraph 5 of Article 25 of the Patent Law stipulates that the existing technology refers to the technology known to the public at home and abroad before the filing date. Section 2. 1 in chapter 3 of the second part of the Review Guide is interpreted as: the existing technology should be in a state that the public can obtain it before the application date, and it contains contents that can enable the public to obtain substantive technical knowledge from it. The content of confidential technology does not belong to the existing technology.

If the product is used in space, if it is a confidential experimental object, it should not belong to the existing technology. Should the current experiments in space be kept secret? Of course, with the development of technology, it is ok for the public to go to space, that is to say, if they want to know the technical content of products, they must be clear about the novelty of product patent applications.

Also, when the product landed, did the public know the state of its technical content? If so, it will affect the novelty of the patent application for this product.

The judgment of novelty is not divided into ordinary patents, confidential patents and national defense patents, and the standards should be unified.
