1. When your patent is an invention patent, it is generally difficult for others to use similar technology unless you have permission. Because invention patents are examined and retrieved before authorization. So granting an invention patent means that your technology is unique.
2. If your patent is to use a new type of patent: If you can guarantee that you haven't had similar ideas and patents before, then others can't use them. If you can't guarantee the uniqueness of your technology, others can take advantage of this loophole. Because people in the patent office will not search for new patents before authorization, they only look at the contents of your document, so there is no guarantee that there are no similar patents before. Therefore, whoever applies first and whose scope of protection is small will have the right to speak.
So I suggest you do a search to make sure there is no similar application before.
Patent benefits: 1. If it is an invention patent, it can get many benefits. For example, rewards from local governments, participation in invention competitions and promotion prospects will be very broad. The second advantage is that you can make money if you can sell it. Nothing else is good. Don't think that owning a patent can make a contribution to society and you should get any benefits. There are too many people applying for and granting new patents in China. The really awesome patent is the invention patent. If you have an invention patent, you can say that you have made a contribution to the country. Don't expect too much if you have a patent for utility model. Put your hopes on yourself and see if you can successfully switch.
