What does it mean to choose a patent source?

Patent source selection means that the inventor can choose his own information source when applying for a patent. In this way, the inventor can find the most helpful material for his patent application from different materials and information, so as to better explain his innovation and the practicability and feasibility of the patent. In addition, the selection of patent sources can also improve the efficiency of patent examination, shorten the examination period and obtain patents quickly.

Patent source selection can be divided into various forms, one is to collect information through professional institutions and media, the other is to understand the existing technology and market trends through investigation, and the third is to obtain it through one's own scientific research and practical experience. Inventors can choose the most suitable source for their own patent content to ensure that their applications are sufficiently reliable and authoritative.

The method of patent source selection has high flexibility and adaptability. On the one hand, the choice of patent sources can be personalized according to different fields and industries. On the other hand, the choice of patent source can also be flexibly adjusted according to its own innovation level and application stage. In a word, patent source selection is an important means and strategy to protect the rights and interests of patent applicants, maintain market competitiveness and promote scientific and technological innovation.
