When applying for a patent, what should I do if the two patents are too repetitive?

When you encounter the problem that two patents are too repetitive, you can consider the following methods:

1. Merge patent applications: If multiple patent applications can be merged into one, the repetition rate can be reduced. However, it should be noted that the merger application may lead to the recalculation of the patent application date and may have a negative impact on patent protection.

2. Withdraw duplicate patent applications: If duplicate patent applications have been found, the best way is to withdraw them as soon as possible to avoid wasting time and resources.

3. Carefully review and revise the patent application: It is necessary to carefully review the patent application to determine whether there is any duplication. If there is duplication, it can be modified so that it does not duplicate the existing patent.

4. Consult a patent agent: If you are confused about how to deal with this situation, you can consult a professional patent agent who can provide professional advice.

In short, if there is too much repetition when applying for a patent, measures should be taken in time to ensure the smooth examination and approval of the patent application.
