What are the differences in the patent systems between the United States and China?
American patents are different from Chinese patents. The main differences are: ① different application principles. ② No loss of novelty deadline. ③ The types of patents are different. ④ Full review system+temporary application.
The difference in application principles: The United States adopts the principle of first invention, which refers to the granting of patent rights for the same invention to the person who first made the invention. China should adopt certain application principles.
Non loss of novelty period: Within one year of the US patent, the disclosure, sale, and promotion of the inventor do not affect novelty; In China, it only takes 6 months.
Different types of patents: US patents include utility (invention), design, and plant patents. The utility patents here are not the same as those in China, and the United States is not protecting utility model patents.
Full examination system+provisional application: US patents require substantive examination and have the opportunity for provisional application.
The above is the difference in the system of patents between the United States and China.
