If there is a patent in the application, but the ZL letter is added before the application number (making consumers mistakenly think it is an authorized patent), it is a counterfeit patent and the administrative department for industry and commerce will investigate and deal with it according to law. So how to explain the good abbreviation of patent? The following details are introduced:
The prefix of the patent number used by China is ZL, so don't mistake it for CN. Patent abbreviations in other countries are as follows: DE? Germany? EP? European Patent Office, California? Canada, ES? Spain, France? France, GR? Greece, UA? Ukraine, African Union? Australia, CL? Chile, JP? Japan, KR? Korea, TH? Thailand, NL? Holland, SE? Sweden, CH? Swiss, AP, African regional industrial property organization? And HK? Hong kong? Taiwan Province province.
Patent abbreviations are generally used to distinguish the types of patents in different countries, and give simple and clear patent number specifications, so as to distinguish similar products of other enterprises from their own products and avoid confusion among consumers; Because patents are protected by national laws, no one can copy and sell them without permission.
