The patent law stipulates that inventions and utility models that are granted patent rights should be novel, creative and practical. Novelty means that the invention or utility model does not belong to the prior art; No unit or individual filed an application for the same invention or utility model with the administrative department for patent in the State Council before the filing date, and it was recorded in the patent application documents published or announced after the filing date.
According to the above regulations, if the paper is published first, the patent will have no novelty, thus losing the opportunity to obtain the patent right. Therefore, please apply for a patent before publishing your paper!
