The invention and utility model applying for patent must be novel, creative and practical at the same time, and the appearance of applying for patent must be novel and beautiful. In addition, the scope of patent protection needs to be defined in clear and concise legal language.
An invention-creation for which a patent is applied is not necessarily a brand-new groundbreaking invention, and an improvement of an existing product or method can also be patented. Patents cover all fields, including machinery, electronics, communication, medicine, chemistry, biology, agriculture and forestry, from household appliances to spacecraft, from Chinese herbal medicine formula to gene therapy, from light-emitting diodes to supercomputers ... It can be said that any invention that does not belong to the following contents may become a patent.
Which inventions can't be patented
Inventions and creations that violate national laws, social morality or hinder public interests will not be protected by patents in any country.
Scientific discoveries, methods and laws of intellectual activities, methods of diagnosis and treatment of diseases, species of animals and plants, substances obtained by nuclear transformation, etc. All belong to the category explicitly prohibited by China's patent law.
In addition, inventions that cannot be implemented, such as perpetual motion machines, cannot be licensed. Literature, artistic works, musical works and film and television works are not protected by patents, but they can be protected by copyright. Trademark, logo, slogan and other characteristic signs that distinguish the source, place of origin and manufacturer of goods can be protected by trademark law and generally do not need to apply for a patent.
I suggest you try to apply.
