Step 4: As far as invention patents are concerned, this is only the first level. Next, the patent office will conduct substantive examination according to the applicant's proposal or law, bearing in mind that the time is within 3 years from the date of application. This stage mainly examines the novelty, creativity and practicality of invention patents.
Step 5: Register. In the substantive examination stage, if no reason for rejection is found, the Patent Office will issue a decision to grant the patent right, issue a patent certificate, and issue registration and announcement at the same time, which will take effect from the date of announcement of the invention patent right.
