One: The substantive examination of an application for a patent for invention can be divided into two types: immediate examination system and deferred examination system.
1, namely trial system, also known as one-time review system. After the formal examination of the application, the Patent Office immediately examines the contents of the patent application for novelty, creativity and practicality, without the applicant making a request for substantive examination to determine whether to grant the patent right. The advantage of instant examination system is that it can ensure the quality of patents granted patent rights, reduce litigation disputes and simplify examination procedures to some extent. Its disadvantage is that the examination and approval time is long and a huge patent examination institution is needed.
2. Deferred review system, also known as early public request review system. After the formal examination of a patent application, the Patent Office does not immediately conduct substantive examination, but makes the application public first. The applicant may request substantive examination at any time within a period of time from the date of application. After the applicant makes a request for substantive examination, the Patent Office will conduct substantive examination only after the request is made public.
