2. If you just apply for a patent for scientific discovery, it won't work. The object of scientific discovery should be regularity and objectivity, rather than being invented by someone, such as the theory of relativity and the law of gravity; If a series of achievements are developed by scientific discoveries, they can be protected as patents.

Intellectual property can be divided into three categories: copyright, patent right and trademark right.
