A set of patent documents associated with priority by at least one * * * is called a patent family. Each patent document in the same patent family is called a member of the patent family, and each patent in the same patent family is a patent of the same patent family. The patent document with the earliest priority in the same patent family is called basic patent.
Question 2: What is a patent of the same family? Patent of the same family refers to a group of patent documents with the same or basically the same contents that have been applied, published or approved by patent organizations in different countries or regions.
To put it bluntly, it is a patent family composed of patents with exactly the same content applied in different countries.
Question 3: What is the patent of the same family? Patent of the same family refers to a group of patent documents with the same or basically the same content that are applied, published or approved by patent organizations in different countries or regions based on the same priority document.
There is a question of priority. If we can understand the priority thoroughly, we won't have much problem understanding this patent of the same family.
PS: Patent priority refers to that the patent applicant filed a patent application for the invention-creation in a country for the first time, and then filed a patent application for the invention-creation with the same theme within the statutory time limit. According to the relevant laws and regulations, the date of the first patent application is the filing date of his later application, and this right enjoyed by the patent applicant according to law is the priority. The purpose of patent priority is to exclude the possibility that anyone who plagiarizes this patent in other countries may first apply and get registered.
Question 4: What are patent family, patent family and basic patent? Patent protection is considered as an important prerequisite for large-scale technical exchanges between countries. With the development of science and technology, the international exchange of patent technology is becoming more and more frequent. However, due to the strict regionality of patent rights, people must apply for patents for their inventions and technologies in many countries if they want to obtain patent protection from many countries, so patent families have emerged. A group of documents and publications with the same or basically the same content produced by applying for patents for the same invention and creation in many countries are called patent families. In the same patent family, every document and publication is a patent of the same family. In each patent set, the documents and publications applying for patents in the first country are basic patents. About 350,000-400,000 of the/kloc-0,000,000 patent specifications published every year in the world are basic patents. However, British derwent Publishing Company has its own regulations on basic patents. It takes the patents of major countries received by the company as basic patents, and the patents of the same invention received later as family patents.

Question 7: The most basic method of how to search the patent of the same family: Generally, all patent search websites have a "priority" search portal, through which the patent of the same family can be found.
The website of the European Patent Office (Baidu keyword espacenet) can search for patents, and the advanced search has the item of "priority number:", and the item of "INPADOC patent family" can be viewed after the file is retrieved.
However, we can't just rely on such a web portal search, and sometimes we have to make some artificial patent families.
People call at least one group of patent documents with the same priority, the same content or basically the same content that have been applied, published or approved for many times in different countries or international patent organizations as patent families. Each patent document in the same patent family is called a member of the patent family, which is referred to as the patent of the same family for short.
Divided into: simple patent family, complex patent family, extended patent family and artificial patent family.
Simple patent family: all patent family members in the same patent family * * * have one or * * * have several priorities to form a simple patent family.
Complex patent family: All patent family members in the same patent family have at least one priority to form a complex patent family.
Extended patent family: each patent family member in the same patent family has priority with at least one other patent family member in this patent family to form an extended patent family.
Artificial patent family: a group of patent documents published by different countries, which do not have the same priority, but have the same or basically the same content, forming an artificial patent family.
Question 8: How to inquire about the patents of the same family? The so-called patent of the same family refers to the patent of an invention applied in many different countries or regions. This kind of patent is called family patent or family patent. Generally, if there is a priority claim, there will be information about the patent for which priority is claimed in the patent for which priority is claimed, so these two patents belong to the same family.
If there is no claim for priority, because it is relatively independent in various countries or regions, generally speaking, it will not indicate which patents belong to the same family. In this case, it is necessary to search by patentee and keyword on patent search websites in various countries. Because it is a family patent, the key words of the invention point must be the same, so it is easy to find.
