China joined the Paris Convention on March 19, 1985 and joined the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) on January 1, 1994. Therefore, at present, Chinese applicants can apply for foreign patents through the Paris Convention or the PCT route.
1. Applying for a foreign patent through the Paris Convention approach 1. Benefits available to applicant One of the important principles of the Paris Convention is the “principle of priorityâ€, which is the first time an applicant has created an invention for a member of the Convention. After the application is filed, when the same applicant applies for the same invention to other member states within a certain period (ie, the priority period: design period is 6 months, invention or utility model is 12 months), these later applications are We think that it was proposed on the same day as the first application. The establishment of the principle of priority brings great convenience to applicants. After an applicant has filed an application in a member country, it may have 6 months or 12 months to make a decision on whether to apply for a foreign patent. Once the applicant has decided to apply for a foreign patent, it can file an application and claim priority within the above-mentioned period.
2. Note:
According to the provisions of Article 20 of the Chinese Patent Law, if an applicant applies for a foreign patent, it must first submit a patent application to the Chinese Patent Office before he can apply for a foreign patent.
Applicants applying for foreign patents within the priority period can enjoy the priority of the original Chinese patent applications. If the original Chinese patent application has exceeded the priority period but has not yet been disclosed, the foreign patent may also be applied before the publication date, but it will no longer enjoy priority.
If the applicant intends to entrust our company to apply for a foreign patent, it is best to apply for the commission two months before the expiration of the priority period so as to avoid increasing the application fee due to time constraints.
2. Applying for a foreign patent through the PCT route 1. Benefits available to the applicant The applicant may apply at the "last minute". Since the PCT application can be submitted in Chinese, the applicant can apply at the last minute of the priority period.
The applicant can obtain a search report from 9 months from the filing date or 16 months from the priority date. The applicant can also obtain a preliminary examination report within 28 months from the filing date or the priority date. The applicant can decide whether to enter the national procedure according to the existing technical level determined by the above two reports.
Compared with the direct application of foreign patents through the Paris Convention, PCT applications may delay the entry into the national phase by 8 months or 18 months, which is undoubtedly advantageous for applicants who are not yet ready.

A noise barrier, also known as a sound barrier or acoustic barrier, is a structure designed to reduce or block the transmission of sound from one area to another. It is typically used to mitigate noise pollution from highways, railways, airports, industrial sites, or other sources of loud noise.
The effectiveness of a noise barrier depends on several factors, including its height, length, location, and the type of material used. It is important to consider the specific noise source and the surrounding environment when designing and installing a noise barrier.
In addition to reducing noise levels, noise barriers can also provide visual screening and privacy for nearby residents or properties. They can be aesthetically designed to blend with the surrounding landscape or be customized with artwork or vegetation to enhance their appearance.
Overall, noise barriers play a crucial role in minimizing the impact of noise pollution on communities and improving the quality of life for residents living near noisy areas.
