Health products are different from medicines, and their functions are not clear enough. Even if it claims to have health care function, it often lacks convincing data to prove it. Under the background of strictly controlling the quality of patent authorization, the patent application for health care products without empirical evidence will not be easily authorized.
The self-positioning of health care products is also reflected in the lack of creativity, which is also the real reason why many health care products are not authorized to apply for patents. Therefore, the pass rate of health care product invention patent application is not high.
