What is the minimum unit to determine the application time in China's patent system?

In China's patent system, the determination of application time is based on days as the minimum unit.

The patent system is a legal system that grants patents to inventions that apply for patents according to the Patent Law, and at the same time discloses the contents of inventions that apply for patents for invention creation, information exchange and paid technology transfer. An internationally accepted management system that uses legal and economic means to promote technological progress. The establishment of this system is to confirm and protect the inventors' intellectual achievements, publicize and utilize the latest inventions, encourage inventions, popularize and make early use of technological achievements, promote international technical exchanges, and promote technological progress and economic development. The content of the patent system is mainly embodied in the patent law. See Patent Law.

First of all, by mining the technical information contained in the treasure house of patent documents, people can understand the latest scientific and technological development level of countries and enterprises around the world, predict the development trend of high-tech and analyze the potential market development trend. So as to choose the correct direction and way of technological innovation.

Second, allocate resources effectively, improve the starting point and level of technological innovation, and avoid wasting manpower, material resources and financial resources.

Third, especially for some weak and just-started enterprises in China, this method can help them enter this field quickly.

Collaborative innovation on open platform. Shi, who is known as the "godfather" of IT in Taiwan Province, proposed in "Rebuilding Acer" that joint venture with local enterprises is a good way to cross the cultural and commercial barriers between the East and the West and realize the internationalization of China enterprises. Adopting the strategy of "patent alliance" is a new idea of intellectual property development under the current knowledge economy environment, especially after China's entry into WTO.

Actively introduce foreign capital. The capital market is the product of the combination of technological innovation and financial innovation, and it is also the link between the real economy and the virtual economy. Without the support of the capital market, technological innovation will be difficult. With the continuous opening of China market, international venture capital and credit capital are gradually injected, which stimulates innovation and cultivates emerging industries through unconventional resource allocation.
