1, different coverage:
Scientific research results are an important basis for applying for patents. Scientific research results have the technical elements to apply for patents. As long as this technology is novel, creative and practical, it can apply for patent protection.
However, scientific research achievements are not equal to patents, and scientific research achievements can apply for patents, but not all scientific research achievements can apply for patents. Although scientific research achievements and patents are related to various technical fields, they are not completely coincident.
2. Different degrees of publicity:
Scientific research results can be kept secret, and there is no mandatory disclosure. But patents are compulsory. Scientific research achievements may be stolen or embezzled, but the patented technology is open, the use of patents requires the permission of the patentee, and patent rights are protected by law.
3, the degree of commercialization is different:
Obtaining patents according to law will realize the monopoly and supervision of the market, which is conducive to the transfer of achievements and the acceleration of industrialization. However, scientific and technological achievements are only the creation and application of intellectual resources, not possession. Any unit or individual can apply scientific and technological achievements for free and become a competitor of the owners of scientific and technological achievements or law enforcers.
