Inventions and creations of the method class: the process process, operation steps and specific process parameters should be described in detail, and the embodiment scheme of the combination of multiple process parameters should usually be provided; For the invention and creation of a method involved in the fields of computer and communication, a detailed and specific implementation plan of the method should be provided in combination with a flow chart, etc., and a variety of solutions can be provided.

1 Principle You can apply for a patent in Class 3 (invention, utility model, appearance).

2 Look at what aspects of your product you want to protect and what your patent is actually used for.

3. If you need to be effectively protected, and at the same time, your transformation has made substantial progress in relation to the prior art, it is recommended to apply for an invention patent.

If it is only for publicity or other purposes, it is recommended to apply for a utility model patent, which is quick and convenient, and can be granted within one year.

If the funds do not allow you to apply for an invention or utility model, you can also apply for a design patent, which can also serve as a publicity effect.

When it comes to being more practical, it should be said that the performance is better or the function is better, at this time it is to solve some technical problems with the improvement of the shape and structure, and it should be protected by utility models, of course, it can also be used invention, but the examination of inventions is stricter.

In fact, if there is a change in shape, you can also apply for a design at the same time.

This should be applied for a utility model or invention.

Because you want to protect the technical solution of the structure of the object, not its appearance.

The Chinese patent classification is:

1. A new design that is aesthetically pleasing and suitable for industrial application made by the overall or partial shape, pattern or combination thereof, as well as the combination of color and shape and pattern, that is, the appearance design;

2. The shape, structure or combination of the product proposed to be suitable for practical new technical solutions, i.e., inventions;

3. It refers to the new technical scheme suitable for practical use proposed for the shape, structure or combination of the product.
