Under what circumstances will a patent application not be accepted?
Under what circumstances will a patent application not be accepted? The patent right can only be obtained after the patentee applies for a patent to the statutory authority and goes through a series of statutory examination procedures. However, not all patent applications can be accepted, and some applications will be rejected because they do not meet the statutory conditions.
