Novelty of patent application

I quite agree with the answer upstairs. If the invention has been published in a paper, although no one has applied for a patent, it is no longer novel. Even if the application is made, it will not be authorized, wasting the application fee. If you want to apply for advice, write clearly the difference between you and others, or the improvement. At the end of introducing the achievements of predecessors, don't specify the achievements of the paper. Write down how everyone solved the problem before this method, and then what are the shortcomings, and then introduce your method.
