What are the types of patents in the new patent law?
1. What are the patent varieties in the new patent law? The types of patents have different rules in different countries. In China's patent law, the rules are: invention patent, utility model patent and design patent. In addition, the rules in Hong Kong's patent law are: normative patents (equivalent to mainland invention patents), short-term patents (equivalent to mainland utility model patents) and design patents; Classification of some developed countries: patent creation and design patent. Second, what is patent creation? According to the first paragraph of Article 2 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law, the term "creation" in the Patent Law refers to a new technical scheme proposed for a product, method or its improvement. (1) Creation is a new skill plan. Skill planning refers to the detailed thinking of using natural laws to deal with a specific skill problem in human production and life, and it is a plan that uses natural laws and natural forces to make it produce certain effects. The classic textbook "International Intellectual Property Arrangement" points out that creation is an ideological activity of human brain, and it is a skill solution to deal with various problems in production, scientific research and experiment by using natural laws. A skill plan usually consists of several skill characteristics. For example, the skill characteristics of product skill plan can be parts, components, data, appliances, equipment, shape, structure, composition, proportion, etc. The skill characteristics of method skill planning can be process, steps, progress, contact time, temperature, pressure, selected equipment and things, etc. The relationship between various skill characteristics is also a skill characteristic. Scientific discovery and scientific theory are people's understanding of unknown substances, phenomena or changes in nature and their laws. They do not belong to the creation mentioned in the patent law, so they are not the object of patent law maintenance. (2) Creation is divided into product creation and method creation. Product creation includes all things created by people, such as machines, equipment, parts, instruments, equipment, appliances, materials, composites, compounds and so on. Methods to create methods that contain all the laws of nature. It can also be divided into production methods and operation methods, such as the creation of processing methods, production technologies, test methods or product use methods. The establishment of patent law can also improve existing products or methods. The vast majority of creations are improvements to existing skills, such as new combinations of certain skill characteristics and new choices of certain skill characteristics. As long as this combination or choice has new skill effect, it is a creation that can be protected by patent. In different countries, patent varieties are different. As far as the types of patents in China's patent law are concerned, there are three main types, namely, creation, utility model and design. However, for different types of patents, the information and procedural requirements of the rules in the law are different, and the maintenance period of actual supply is also different.
