(1) If the patent application is not filed in the form of circumstances, or is not written in Chinese, it cannot be accepted. For example, it is unacceptable to file a patent application in the form of model, sample, video tape, disk, telephone, etc., and it is also unacceptable to file an application in an untranslated foreign language.
(two) the application documents (including the request) have not been typed or printed, and the handwriting is unclear or altered; Attached drawings or design pictures are not drawn with drawing tools and black ink, or blurred (design photos) or altered, and will not be accepted. For example, drawings and paintings drawn with pencils and blurred photos are not allowed.
(3) The basic application documents are incomplete, for example, the application for a patent for invention or utility model lacks a request, a specification (the application for utility model lacks drawings) or any claim; An application for a patent for design that lacks any request, picture or photograph cannot be accepted. For example, an application for a patent for utility model only submitted the request, specification and claim, but not the attached drawings, so it cannot be accepted. However, the examination of acceptance conditions only examines whether these parts of the patent application are complete, and does not examine whether the documents of each part are complete. For example, the instructions should have five pages, and the applicant has only submitted 1 ~ 3 pages and 5 pages, which can still be passed when accepted. The acceptance office only indicated on the document list that it had received four pages of instructions. This kind of defect is often irreparable, so the applicant must check it carefully when submitting the application documents.
(4) If the name and address of the applicant are missing in the request, it cannot be accepted. For example, the format of the request is not standardized, and only the name and inventor of the invention are marked on it, without the name and address of the applicant, so the patent application cannot be accepted because there is no applicant.
(5) Where the category of the patent application (invention, utility model or design) is unclear or uncertain, it shall not be accepted. For example, the applicant submitted a design request, but did not submit pictures or photographs, but submitted instructions and drawings. Because the application for design does not need to submit instructions, it is impossible to determine what patent the applicant wants to apply for and what kind of patent application should be accepted and examined, so it can only be rejected.
(six) nationals or units belonging to countries that have no agreements, treaty relations and patent reciprocity relations with China do not accept applications to China; Or foreigners or foreign units that have no habitual residence or business office in China, as well as compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan who have not gone through the application procedures as required, cannot be accepted. For example, it is unacceptable for a Hong Kong resident in China to send the patent application documents directly to the Chinese Patent Office.
