基本解釋

For a non-service invention-creation, the right to apply for a patent belongs to the inventor or creator.
非職務(wù)發(fā)明創(chuàng)造，申請(qǐng)專利的權(quán)利屬於發(fā)明人或者設(shè)計(jì)人；
Does the new patent law mean that foreigners are entitled to apply for a patent in your country?
喬治：專利法的頒佈是不是意味著外國(guó)人人也可以在你們國(guó)內(nèi)申請(qǐng)專利呢?。
This can be a costly undertaking if it anticipated that the invention may be widely useful, and the wish is frequently expressed for a single patent that would apply world-wide.
如果預(yù)期該項(xiàng)發(fā)明可能廣泛應(yīng)用，竝且希望該發(fā)明成爲(wèi)被廣泛應(yīng)用的獨(dú)一無二的專利，則專利申請(qǐng)將是一項(xiàng)昂貴的事業(yè)。
