What should I do if I am cloned by others in the process of applying for invention patent?

The answer upstairs is somewhat irresponsible. If it is a thoughtful invention, it is very innovative and has market benefits. It is recommended that declare in advance take a long time to approve the invention, so it is recommended to declare it together with the utility model, and the protection will be faster! If it is a simple but creative invention, don't apply. Once it is sold, imitation will be out of control. Of course, imitation is more serious in China. Although we still can't control this phenomenon after filing a case, we have the exclusive right to sue for infringement, which is our fundamental interest.
