Patents include invention patents, utility model patents and design patents.
Invention patents: You can apply for invention patents for products, methods or new technical solutions proposed by improvement, such as drug formulation, production and processing technology, control methods, software control flow, etc.
Patent for utility model: a new technical scheme suitable for practical use according to the shape, structure or combination of products. Such as the structure and circuit of a specific product. The protection object of utility model patent is only limited to products with a certain shape or structure.
Design patent: a new design with aesthetic feeling and suitable for industrial application, which aims at the shape, pattern or their combination of products and the combination of color and shape and pattern. Such as food packaging boxes and bags, jewelry shapes, etc. The design patent can be the three-dimensional modeling of the product, the surface pattern of the product, or the result of both.
Note: A specific visible product structure can apply for an invention patent or a utility model patent, but only an invention patent can be applied for the formula, technological process and control method, and the design patent only protects the product appearance, not the technical scheme.
