I invented a new formula, and I want to apply for patent protection. What do I need to do? Please point out that this is a herbal medicine for treating oral mucosal diseases.

The patent application is only accepted by China National Intellectual Property Administration, and has nothing to do with the Food and Drug Administration, which records it before you manufacture the product. As long as you are practical, novel and creative. You can apply if it doesn't violate social morality.

In addition, considering that you are a traditional Chinese medicine, you can go to the relevant departments for the record, and carry out special protection or technical secret protection for the traditional Chinese medicine compound. Trade secret protection and patent protection are carried out together. Also, pay attention to the scope of protection when applying for a patent.
