How to reply to the patent office staff that it is not creative?
First of all, the general examination opinions of invention patents all say that the claim is not creative. Don't worry too much. In the past two years, it is normal for the Intellectual Property Office to control the licensing rate and improve the quality of patents. First, do you see if the examiner said that all the claims are not creative? Are there any evaluated claims? If so, for the need of authorization, we can consider mentioning the creative claim that the examiner has not commented on to the exclusive right. In this case, the chief inspector will accept and grant the patent right. Second, if the examiner says that all the claims are judged to be not creative, then you need to consider defending yourself with the examiner. Does the examiner make sense? Is the comparison file found really the same as your invention patent? What's the difference? Whether the difference is easy to think of as the examiner said, or whether the comparison file gives technical enlightenment, is generally different from the comparison file in terms of the role played by different technical features in the invention, so the comparison file has no technical enlightenment to defend. See how you explain your technical scheme in this way, so as to distinguish your invention patent application from the comparison documents and convince the examiner. Mainly the above two points. If you have any questions, please communicate in time.
