Huawei's UAV identification patent is such an innovative and practical invention.
First, the hard conditions for applying for a patent can be used to apply for a patent, which must be a new technological invention, a new practical improvement and a new design. Whether it can be certified and applied for a patent depends on whether the invention is innovative and practical.
Innovative and practical? Your invention is either brand-new and practical, or it is more practical after being improved on the basis of existing technology.
Give three simple examples:
1. In the era when there were no bicycles, you invented bicycles, so you can apply for bicycles? Technology invention patent? And then what? Design patent? .
2. After you apply for a bicycle patent, if someone else improves the bicycle to be more advanced, labor-saving and durable on the basis of your bicycle technology, he can apply for a bicycle although he can't apply for a bicycle technology invention patent? New practical improvement patent? .
3. If the appearance of the bicycle he invented is obviously different from yours, and his bicycle appearance is obviously more scientific than yours, can he apply for a bicycle? Design patent? .
Don't look at what I said above, it's actually highly simplified. In the real case of patent examination and judgment, the logic of the examination department's judgment on patent certification is far more complicated than what I said above. It depends not only on whether it is innovative or practical, but also on the duration of authorization, regionality and exclusiveness. And the process from accepting patent application to actual patent authorization is very rigorous and complicated.
Second, talk about Huawei's application for UAV identification patent announced by Huawei this time? UAV identification patent? According to the patent introduction, we can see that UAV identification technology includes physical identification, access identification and application identification of UAV, which are stored in the areas of non-erasure, authorized erasure and repeated erasure respectively.
According to this analysis, some IT professionals believe that Huawei's patent is likely to prepare for the interconnection of drones and mobile apps, but for the time being, it is limited to guessing what areas it will be used in the future, or let time speak.
