What are the types of invention patent applications？According to different classification standards, the invention patents can be classified into different types.For example, according to the state of the invention, it can be divided into completed invention and unfinished invention.Incomplete inventions do not give patent to the patent law of any country because they do not have the practicability of the Patent Law.According to the number of completed inventions, the invention can be divided into common inventions and independent inventions.According to the nationality of the inventor, the invention can be divided into foreign invention and national invention.But the rights of the applicant for patent for invention are basically the same.According to the attribution of the rights of invention, it can be divided into non-job creation and job creation.According to the restriction or dependence of the invention, it can be divided into the improved invention and the basic invention.The most common and basic classification in the Patent Law is to divide inventions into methods, inventions, and inventions.China's Patent Law divides the invention patents into three categories: product invention, method invention and improved invention.
1.Product invention
Product invention refers to the creation of all kinds of unprecedented new products through people's intellectual activities.However, the patent law of each country has a certain limit on the scope of protection of product inventions,not all inventions of products can obtain patent rights,if it is a product that violates national laws and social public interests, obtains material by means of nuclear transformation method , can not get the invention patent.Patent products can not only be an independent, complete product, it can be a machine or equipment in the parts.The invention of the product can be divided into the following four cases:
1)The invention of the invention shakes a variety of machines, devices, equipment and various appliances;
2)The invention of matter shakes, such as chemicals, food, drugs, etc;
3)The invention of materials such as ceramics, glass, artificial diamond, synthetic insulin, etc;
4)The invention of the new use of the product is to reveal the unprecedented use and function of this item without changing the nature and condition of the item.For example, it is found that charcoal can be used to make gunpowder.But if it is found in a completely natural state, without any artificial processing, the creation of unprecedented new items, then it is not the invention of the product, and belong to the scientific discovery.
2.Method invention
Invention refers to the invention of the steps or techniques adopted to change an object or substance into another state or another substance or substance.The protection of the invention began in the middle of the original century, but the protection degree of the method invention is different in the world at present.For example, the United States only protects the invention of the method itself, and does not protect the products produced by this method, while the patent law of China and Germany not only protects the patent of the method, but also protects the products produced according to this method.Methods inventions include:
1)The invention of the method of making steel for special purpose and making color film and so on;
2)Chemical methods are invented to shake synthetic resins, synthetic fibers, and other methodsl;
3)Biological methods invented such as artificial pearls, hybrid rice breeding methods;
4)Other methods such as measuring methods, communication methods, and inventions of analytical methods;
3.Improved invention
An improved invention refers to a technical solution to a substantial improvement of an existing product invention or method.Improve the invention and product inventions, the difference between the invention of the invention is that it is not a new product, the creation of new methods, but in the already existing methods or products based on the substantive innovation technology program is the invention of the existing technology On the further improvement and improvement.Improved inventions can bring new features to existing products and methods or cause them to undergo qualitative changes, but this does not fundamentally change the original nature of the original invention.For example, Edison invented the incandescent lamp, the American General Electric Company invented a method of production through improved incandescent lamps for incandescent lamps filled with inert gas, so that the service life and the quality of the incandescent lamp has been significantly improved, also greatly improve the benefit.This is the improvement of the invention.Now many countries have improved inventions as objects of patent law protection, such as Canada, the United States, India and other countries.
