When submitting a patent, the acceptance notice issued by the Patent Office is printed with a serial number, such as 201012652531.6 (nonexistent), which is the application number of the invention patent. Until this patent is authorized to get a patent certificate, the application number can really become the patent number. Such as ZL 201012652531.6.
So don't think that the application number is the patent number just because you have applied for a patent. There are uncertain factors in patent application, so don't think that the application number is equivalent to the patent number with great interest, especially when the application number of the invention patent is issued, because the application of the invention patent needs to consider the substantive examination of the patent, so it is possible to apply for a patent for more than two years or more than three years. Before the application fails, do not use the patent, which is classified as the patent number.
