I found a new e-commerce model. Can I apply for a patent?

You can apply, but you need to change your mind. The new model needs to protect a lot. If one application is used to protect this model, it is difficult to protect it in place, but it is also difficult to meet the requirements of the current patent law in China for the authorized object. Because of some innovations, patents are not protected.

Because of course, e-commerce mode involves many roles such as server, client and management system, and also involves various processing flows, such as how the server interacts with the client, how the client interacts with users and servers, and so on. Compared with the existing e-commerce model, these should be more or less improved.

Putting these improvements on one point and applying for several patents at each point can not only fully protect your innovation, but also avoid the risk of not protecting the object.

Therefore, the same thing depends on who describes it and how to limit it. Different processing ideas can certainly receive different effects.
