An increasing number of Chinese counterpart patent applications are being filed from US patent applications.
In the past, an original US patent application was often drafted with little thought towards later nationalization in China. As a result, if the Chinese counterpart application required amendments to be allowed, the applicant was often unable to have those required amendments accepted by the examiner in China.
A US patent application that will later be nationalized as a Chinese counterpart should be organized with explicitly described levels of embodiments.
The language of the patent application should also recognize the difficulties of translating a technical description into Chinese.
Drafting US Patent Applications for Nationalization and Examination in China
A patent grants property rights to an inventor, and is issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. If you're wondering how to patent an idea, it's the same process as for an actual invention. A utility patent is usually the patent of choice because in most cases it offers the best protection. According to patent law, only the original inventor can file an application and receive a patent, but you can make use of a lawyer to prepare the application.
