Conditions for awarding People's Republic of China (PRC) National Technological Invention Award

(1) has not been invented or published by predecessors; (2) advanced and creative; (three) after the implementation, it has created remarkable economic or social benefits. The term "products, processes and materials that have not been invented or disclosed by predecessors" as mentioned in these Measures refers to products, processes and materials that have not been invented by predecessors before the candidate's disclosure, and have been pioneered at home and abroad, or whose main technical contents have not been publicly published or disclosed in various public publications, media and public information channels at home and abroad, and have not been publicly used. When recommending the national technological invention award, a certificate of obtaining the invention patent shall generally be issued. If a patent for invention has not been obtained, literature retrieval and novelty retrieval shall be conducted through the scientific and technological information department recognized by the National Science and Technology Awards Office (hereinafter referred to as the National Awards Office) to confirm whether a technology meets the conditions that have not been invented or made public by predecessors, and literature retrieval shall be conducted until the time when the technology is made public. There are various forms to define or determine the opening hours. In addition to technical appraisal, there are patent applications, product appraisal, public sale and use of products or technologies, and public publication of major technical contents. If the above disclosure methods exist for a technology at the same time, the earliest disclosure time should be determined. Compared with similar technologies at home and abroad, it is advanced and creative. Advanced nature means that its main performance (traits), technical and economic indicators, scientific and technological level and its role and significance in promoting scientific progress are superior to similar technologies in recommendation and evaluation. Advanced nature requires an invention to be not only new and unprecedented, but also to have technical advantages, so it is competitive and practical. Creativity means that the technical idea of the invention is innovative, with substantive characteristics and remarkable progress in technology. Creativity requires that an invention is not simple, but must be fundamentally different from the existing similar technology, with a qualitative leap and breakthrough. Advancement and creativity are mainly compared with advanced similar technologies. After implementation, it has created remarkable economic or social benefits, which means that the technology has been proved to be mature and practical by practice, and has produced remarkable economic or social benefits, making contributions to China's economic construction and social development. This condition requires that the invention is not only advanced, but also has practical value, and has been applied to production practice on a large scale. Technical inventions recommended to participate in the evaluation of the National Technological Invention Award should be implemented and applied on a large scale for more than one year and achieve good practical results. Products and materials should be produced and applied in batches at least, and the technological requirements should be implemented at least above the pilot scale.
