Most drug packages only have the approval number, but there is no patent number. What is the matter?

1, not all products have patent numbers.

2, the approval number refers to:

The production of new drugs or drugs with national standards must be approved by the drug supervision and administration department of the State Council, and the patent number of the drug is specified in the approval document, which is called the drug approval number. A pharmaceutical production enterprise can produce the drug only after obtaining the drug approval number.

3. The format of drug approval document number: national medicine quasi-word+1 digit letter +8 digits, and the format of trial production drug approval document number: national medicine trial word+1 digit letter +8 digits.

In other words, you can only produce drugs with the approval number, and the patent application can only show that the technology has new technical improvement or novelty.
