Business method application cannot be granted a patent right
before the SIPO, unless you are very careful at the very beginning
of drafting an application, fully understand the special tactics
during prosecution of the application, and foresee the direction
SIPO is heading regarding examination of a business method
application.
We are able to help you with our expertise in drafting and
prosecuting the application, and our interactions with the
SIPO.
BACKGROUND
Business method application is likely to be rejected under
Paragraph 2, Article 2 of the Chinese Patent Law, which prescribes
that, "invention means any new technical solution relating to
a product, a process or improvement thereof," because business
method is deemed as being created in compliance with "law of
society" instead of "law of nature", thus it is not
a "technical solution."
