I have a good idea. I want to apply for a patent, but the approval time is too long. Is there any good way?

You think too much.

In fact, as long as you get the patent application number after accepting it, you can find a venture capitalist.

Because the patent application number itself has certain protection, it can prevent others from counterfeiting or applying for a patent with the same technical connotation.

If someone else "infringes" after you get the patent application number and before you get the authorization, you can sue for rights protection after the patent is authorized. Does not affect the limitation of prosecution and the protection of rights.

Note: It is best to apply for invention patent and utility model patent at the same time (this is a common countermeasure for most patent inventors to deal with similar problems at present). The patent office also has a similar special application "combination" strategy).
