Are there any fake patents?

First of all, after finding the patent number, we should determine its legal status, that is, whether the patent is valid or invalid. Patents that have expired are no longer called patents.

Second, for patents that are still within the validity period, we should inquire about their technical content and determine the content of patent protection according to the scope of protection of their claims.

Thirdly, for utility model and design patents, because they have not been retrieved in the examination procedure, it is not excluded that patent rights will not be granted. Therefore, the patentability of these two patents needs further retrieval to determine. Patent number and patent right are not necessarily valid patents.
