How many years is the validity of the invention patent? Is it the same as other patents?

The term of validity of a patent right is the longest term of validity of a patent right. The patent right is only valid within the statutory time limit. If this period is exceeded, the patentability of inventions will be absolutely eliminated, and inventions will enter the public domain and become the common property of all mankind. So how many years is the validity of the invention patent? Is it the same as other patents? How many years is the validity of the invention patent? The validity of invention patent is not permanent in the practice of reproduction. According to the relevant regulations, the validity period of China's invention patent is 20 years from the date of application, and the applicant should also go through the registration formalities on schedule and pay the annual fee for that year, so that the application for invention patent can formally become an invention patent with various attributes. Is the validity period of invention patent the same as other patents? No, according to Article 42 of China's Patent Law, the term of invention patent is 20 years, and the term of utility model patent and design patent is 10 year, all of which are counted from the date of application. The complete protection period of invention patent is longer than that of utility model and design 10 year. How to determine the validity period of an invention patent? Article 39 of the Patent Law stipulates that if an application for a patent for invention is not found to be rejected after substantive examination, the administrative department for patent in the State Council shall make a decision to grant a patent right for invention, issue a patent certificate for invention, and register and announce it at the same time. The invention patent right shall take effect as of the date of announcement. In other words, there is no patent right before the date of authorization announcement of the patent office, and the patent right is legally calculated from the date of authorization announcement.
