What are the characteristics of applying for a British patent?

British patents have two characteristics. First, they advocate priority, which is easy to understand, and most countries do. The second is the requirement of absolute novelty, which requires the applicant's special attention. The requirement of absolute novelty in British patents means that if your invention is not published anywhere in the world in writing, orally, in use, in the market or in any other way before the application date, if it is published, the invention will lose its absolute novelty and the patent application may be hindered, so the applicant needs to pay special attention.
