What are the reasons for rejecting the patent application?

1. The first basic reason for patent rejection is that the invention or product applied for patent is not novel, creative and practical. China's patent law has three requirements for patents, namely novelty, creativity and practicality. If the invention or product applying for patent does not reflect these three characteristics, the Patent Office will not authorize patent examination. Therefore, this requires the applicant to explore the novelty, creativity and uniqueness of the invention or product as much as possible to avoid the embarrassment of patent rejection due to this reason.

2. The second basic reason for patent rejection is that there is a problem in the description of the product or invention in the submitted application documents. In many cases, in order to ensure that the confidential technology of their inventions or products will not be leaked, applicants often omit or conceal the instructions, which will directly lead to the rejection of patents and the failure to apply for patents successfully. In fact, the applicant's anxiety is actually unnecessary, because the staff responsible for patent examination have the responsibility not to disclose any patent secrets and effectively protect the confidentiality of the applicant's products or inventions.

3. The third basic reason for patent rejection is that the applicant can't distinguish the categories of patent invention, utility model or design patent application, so when applying for a patent, he randomly chooses one of them to determine the category of his product or invention. But in fact, if the patent application does not meet the corresponding application category, the patent office will also reject the patent.
