The patent law does stipulate that the name of a patent application cannot be advertised, but in actual operation, the examiner will relax the requirements appropriately and implement it in accordance with the Examination Operation Rules.
For the examination of the patent application name, the following aspects are emphatically examined:
1, consistency
The name is consistent with the name in the specification, power of attorney and other supporting documents.
2. Comprehensive
The name shall comprehensively and clearly reflect the theme of the utility model to be protected, and adopt technical terms commonly used in this technical field.
3. Non-technical vocabulary
Names shall not contain non-technical words, including names of people, companies, trademarks, models and codes.
4. Vague words and general words
The name shall not contain ambiguous words, such as "and others" and "and its analogues".
5. Words and punctuation marks
The name shall not exceed 40 words, and the letters, numbers and punctuation marks in the name shall be counted as the number of words, and each letter, number or punctuation mark shall be counted as half a word. A period is not allowed in the name. In addition, punctuation marks such as pause, comma, bracket, quotation mark, book title, slash, backslash, dash and ellipsis are not allowed when the meaning is unclear.
Publicity language generally belongs to the above third aspect, but as long as it is not too out of line and obviously exaggerated, it will not be spared.
For example, a patent application involving an electric globe is entitled "Magic Rotating Earth"; The name of the patent application involving the packaging layer of medicinal materials is "Shen Gong Yuan Qi bag", in which "magic" and "Shen Gong" are obviously exaggerated terms and are not allowed.
