Why Overseas Applicants Need China-Specific Patent Strategy
China patent prosecution is not only a translation task.
Many overseas patent applications enter China after the priority application or PCT application has already been drafted. If the China filing is treated only as translation and formal submission, important issues may be missed: claim support, technical contribution, inventive-step reasoning, feature comparison, amendment room, and commercial claim value.
Ma Su Team reviews China patent matters through examiner-style logic. We look at how a Chinese examiner may read the claim, where the technical contribution really sits, which features are supported by the specification, how prior art may be combined, and what response or filing route preserves useful protection.
