Can ordinary people invent patents?

Everyone can apply for a patent for invention. The subject of a patent application can be a natural person or a legal person, or multiple natural persons or legal persons can jointly apply for a patent, but the inventor can only be a natural person. An invention refers to a new technical scheme proposed for a product, method or its improvement. At the same time, the effect of patent is regional, that is, in which country you want to obtain patent protection, you must apply for a patent in that country, or you can apply for an international patent through the World Intellectual Property Organization and specify the country of entry. Patent applications from China need to be submitted to China National Intellectual Property Administration, China. You can entrust a patent agency to handle it, or you can handle it yourself, but foreigners, foreign enterprises or other foreign organizations that have no habitual residence or business office in China should entrust a patent agency to handle it.
