Can foreign patents be applied in China?

If it is an invention patent, it is basically impossible to authorize it, because after substantive examination, the examiner will not only search patent documents, periodicals, books, etc., but also search mainstream patent databases, including patent documents of the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions; Therefore, if you just apply directly and don't make technical improvements, you will basically be rejected because you are not novel and creative.

New patents may be granted luckily because they only look for obvious novelty.

Appearance patents are the same as utility models.
