What is the parallel claim of patent right?

Paragraph 1 of Article 56 of the Patent Law stipulates that the scope of protection of the patent right for an invention or utility model shall be subject to the contents of its claims. Paragraph 1 of Article 21 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law stipulates that patent claims shall have independent claims or subordinate claims. As the "claim" mentioned in the first paragraph of Article 56 of the Patent Law is not limited to the "independent claim" stipulated in the first paragraph of Article 21 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law, it should also include the "dependent claim" stipulated in the Detailed Rules for the Implementation. "Dependent claims" are additional technical features, which further define the claims cited by them, including independent claims, so the scope of patent protection defined by dependent claims is smaller than that defined by independent claims or the claims cited by them. Therefore, the choice of dependent claims to determine the scope of patent protection is not directly related to whether the patent has gone through invalid procedures.
