What are the upper and lower examples of patents?

The provisions on numerical values and numerical ranges in the review guidelines are explained. In the first example, "comparing the two endpoints of the numerical range disclosed in the document will destroy the novelty of the invention or utility model whose technical feature is discrete value and has either of the two endpoints, but it will not destroy the novelty of the invention or utility model whose technical feature is any value between the two endpoints". Understand the following sentence, that is, comparing the 40- 100 published in the document, it destroys the novelty of the two endpoints of 40 and 100, but does not destroy the numerical novelty in the middle of 40- 100. In the judgment of novelty, the lower concept affects the novelty of the upper concept, that is, the specific influence is abstract, and vice versa.

Don't confuse novelty with infringement judgment. In case of infringement judgment, 58 and 75 must be in the range of 40- 100.

In the second example, 95 is the lower concept, and 70- 105 is the upper concept. The upper concept does not affect the novelty of the lower concept. Similarly, the infringement judgment, 95 falls within the range of 70- 105.

Again, don't confuse novelty judgment with infringement judgment. Make it clear and your problem will be solved.

I hope I made it clear that you can understand ~
