My two invention patents have been published, and now I want to apply jointly. What should I do?

1. You can reapply for a patent within 12 months from the filing date of the first patent application, merge the technical solutions of the first two applications into one application, and claim the priority of the first two applications.

There are two points to note:

A, the merged application must meet the requirements of oneness, otherwise it is not cost-effective to divide the case again.

B, joint application must also require the priority of the first two applications, otherwise, it will affect the novelty.

2. If a joint application is submitted and the priority of the first two applications is claimed, the first two applications will be considered as withdrawn.

3. If a joint application is submitted and the priority of the first two applications is claimed, the publication of the first two applications will not affect the novelty of the joint application.
