Is the invention patent still valid after similar structures are discovered abroad?

After similar structures are found abroad, the invention patents are still valid.

1. The same technical content of foreign patents, whether they are applied for in China or not, will affect the re-application of patents in China. Patented technology can be legally copied in China, which is an open technology. If you don't apply for a patent in China, you can't get protection in China.

2. A patent application is only partially the same as a foreign patent, and a patent can be granted by modifying the claims in the application, deleting the same part and retaining the innovative part of the application.
