No, but the latter application should claim the priority of the former application to avoid damaging the novelty of the latter application.
Industrial process control (abbreviation of industrial process control)
Considering the provisions of confidentiality review, PCT is the most labor-saving. That is to say, firstly, a PCT international patent application is filed with China as the acceptance bureau, which automatically enters the confidentiality review procedure, and then enters the national phase of China and other target foreign countries on time.
Article 20 of the Patent Law stipulates that any unit or individual who applies for a patent for invention or utility model completed in China to a foreign country shall file a confidentiality review with the patent administration department of the State Council in advance. The procedures and time limit for confidentiality review shall be implemented in accordance with the provisions of the State Council.
Units or individuals in China may file an international patent application in accordance with the relevant international treaties to which People's Republic of China (PRC) is a party. The applicant who files an international application for a patent shall abide by the provisions of the preceding paragraph.
The patent administration department of the State Council shall handle international patent applications in accordance with the relevant international treaties to which People's Republic of China (PRC) is a party, this Law and the relevant provisions of the State Council.
Where an invention or utility model that violates the provisions of the first paragraph of this Article is applied for a patent in a foreign country, the patent right shall not be granted in China.
