Answer: In an emergency, it is feasible to use the items around you for self-defense, but the following principles must be emphasized: **Legal compliance, non-fatal priority, and only used in self-defense. The following provide some transformation ideas that are in line with the safety and legal framework, but please always take getting out of danger as your primary goal, and give priority to seeking police help. --- ###**Safety tips：** 1. **Legal risks**: Different regions have different definitions of ”weapons", and arbitrary modification of items may violate laws (such as regulations on the control of knives). You need to understand local regulations in advance. 2. **Division of responsibilities**: Self-defense is passive defense, and excessive use may be regarded as offensive behavior. 3. **Give priority to escape**: The ultimate goal of any tool is to buy escape time, not confrontation. --- ###**Self-defense application of daily necessities (example)** #### 1. Key/pen -**Usage**: Hold the tip of the key or the tip of the pen tightly, with the sharp end facing out, and use it to poke the attacker's fragile parts (such as eyes and throat). -**Note **: Avoid excessive modification (such as sharpening metal keys) and maintain their “daily use” attributes. #### 2. Long-handled umbrella/trekking pole -**Usage**: Stab the opponent's abdomen or knees with the tip of an umbrella; swing horizontally to create a distance. -**Enhanced effect**: Choose an umbrella with a metal umbrella head, but do not install sharp parts without permission. #### 3. Backpack/handbag -**Usage**: After being filled with heavy objects, it can be used as a shield to block, or quickly swing to force the opponent to retreat. -**Tactics**: Throwing items in the bag (such as coins and cosmetics) to interfere with the opponent's line of sight. #### 4. Belt/data cable -**Usage**: Quickly pull out the belt and wave it, the metal head can increase deterrence; the data cable can be slapped or wrapped around the opponent's wrist. -**Restrictions**: Certain skills are required, and close combat is not recommended. #### 5. Spray type (legal premise) -**Alternatives**: Perfume, toilet water, anti-mosquito spray (local legality needs to be confirmed). -**Usage**: Aim at the opponent's face and run away immediately after spraying. #### 6. flashlight -**Option**: Strong light tactical flashlight (legal and concealed). -**Usage**: Strong light hits the eyes directly to cause blindness, and the metal shell can enhance the hitting power. --- ###**Absolutely taboo** -**Modification of sharp/explosive materials**: Such as glass stopper blades, nails, etc., may constitute intentional injury. -**Imitate the appearance of a weapon**: If the item is disguised as a firearm, it can easily cause misunderstandings or legal issues. -**Actively provoking use**: Any tool used in an attack may be held accountable. --- ###**Safer suggestion** 1. **Daily preparation**: Carry an alarm (high decibel buzzer) and positioning equipment with you. 2. **Environmental awareness**: Avoid night routes or dangerous areas and plan escape routes in advance. 3. **Learn self-defense techniques**: Mastering basic liberation skills (such as breaking free of wrist grip) is more reliable than tools. Please keep in mind: **Risk prevention is far better than passive response**. In an emergency, staying calm and calling the police (such as China 110) is the highest priority.

Answer: By taking advantage of the differences in patent application, disclosure and protection systems among countries, and carefully designing patent strategies, we can ensure that technical details are kept confidential in core markets for a long time, thereby extending the product's global market competition period. The following are some common strategies and ideas. However, it should be noted that any strategy must be implemented within the scope permitted by the laws of each country to avoid violating the law or causing doubts from regulators. 1. Phased patent application and disclosure arrangements (1) Utilizing international application systems (such as PCT): Companies can first submit preliminary applications in their own country or strategic markets, and then choose to enter other countries within the prescribed priority period (usually 12 months). In this way, the application time can be flexibly arranged according to the requirements of each country for disclosure time, and the disclosure in some countries can be delayed until the product is launched on the market. (2) Submitting applications in different countries: Some countries disclose the application 18 months after submission, while other countries may have different disclosure requirements. Companies can choose to delay the disclosure of application content in certain key markets based on the characteristics of each country's system to keep the technology secret until the commercialization advantage is converted into market share. 2. Differentiating priorities and application order Using priority strategies, apply for more important or sensitive technical content in the home country first, and then use the priority period to supplement the application in other countries. This not only ensures the early locking of core technologies, but also adjusts the time of subsequent applications according to foreign disclosure policies, effectively extending the "first-mover period" in the global market. 3. Utilizing systems such as "patent continuation" (or divisional application) In some countries, applicants can submit divisional or continued applications based on the original application, thereby extending the effective period of the patent right (within the scope permitted by law). This can not only continuously broaden the scope of protection, but also use the differences in review time limits or disclosure time points to adjust the rhythm of technology disclosure to match the product life cycle and extend the market exclusivity period. 4. Balanced strategy between confidentiality and disclosure In some countries, the requirements for disclosure details are relatively low during the patent approval process. Enterprises can choose to apply first in such countries and take advantage of the "secret application"; while in countries that force early disclosure, they can control the application content and selectively disclose key technical details. By selectively managing the disclosure time of technical information on a global scale, some competitive advantages can be retained before the product is launched. 5. Patent layout synchronized with product launch plan When conducting patent strategic planning, enterprises should combine the product's R&D, testing, approval and launch schedule to determine the time of patent applications in different markets. By laying out core markets in advance, entering other countries later, and taking advantage of institutional differences among countries, we can ensure that most key technologies are still under application or review when the product is launched, thereby legally delaying the possibility of competitors copying. 6. Risk Prevention and Compliance Considerations Although this strategy of taking advantage of institutional differences can extend the exclusivity period after the product is launched, it is important to pay attention to: • Ensure that all applications comply with the laws and substantive requirements of each country and avoid patent invalidation or disputes due to deliberate concealment. • Pay attention to the supervision of "patent abuse" or "evergreening" (patent extension) in various countries to avoid unfair competition or antitrust issues. • Maintain close coordination with product development and marketing to prevent technological innovation and competitive advantages from being affected by adjustments to patent strategies. In short, through in-depth research on patent application and disclosure systems in different countries and designing flexible application strategies (such as reasonable use of international application steps, divisional applications, and clever use of priority rights), the disclosure of core technology information can be effectively delayed before and after the product is launched, and the patent protection period can be appropriately extended, thereby extending the product's time to market and competitive advantage in the global market. But at the same time, this strategy requires companies to have a detailed understanding of the laws of various countries and to work closely with professional patent agents or legal advisors to ensure that the implementation process achieves both commercial goals and does not violate relevant legal provisions.

Answer: Taking advantage of the differences in patent application and disclosure systems in different countries to extend the time to market for products around the world is a complex but effective strategy. Here are several possible methods and strategies: ### 1. **Priority strategy** - **Using the PCT system**: Submitting international patent applications through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) allows you to apply for patents in multiple member states at the same time, while enjoying a national phase delay of up to 30 months. This provides companies with more time to evaluate the market and decide on the specific national application sequence. - **Regional priority**: Submit an application first in a certain region (such as Europe or East Asia), and take advantage of the different timetables of countries in the region in terms of examination and granting patents to optimize the global patent layout. ### 2. **Phase-based application** - **Gradual submission**: Apply for patents in major markets (such as the United States and Europe) first, and then submit them in other countries in stages. This can not only reduce initial costs, but also adjust subsequent strategies based on the reactions of the first batch of countries. - **Choose delayed disclosure**: Some countries allow delayed disclosure of application documents. By keeping confidentiality in these countries in advance, the product disclosure can be delayed, thereby extending the market exclusivity period. ### 3. **Use different disclosure and publication systems** - **Disclosure differences between countries**: Some countries disclose the application content a long time after the application (such as China usually discloses it after 18 months). Taking advantage of the longer confidentiality period in these countries, competitors can be delayed from obtaining technical information. - **Confidentiality strategy**: Before disclosing the patent application, ensure that the relevant technical information is kept confidential in a specific country to avoid early disclosure in non-applicant countries affecting the global patent layout. ### 4. **Diversified patent types** - **Combined patent applications**: Apply for multiple types of patents (such as invention patents, utility models, and designs), and use different patent types in different countries to extend the overall protection period. - **Continuous innovation**: Through continuous research and development and application for additional patents for improved technology, "patent perpetuity" is achieved to extend the market exclusivity period of the product. ### 5. **Strategic market selection** - **Prioritize strategic market selection**: Based on the market potential and competitive environment of the product, prioritize patent applications in key markets to ensure first-mover advantage in these high-value markets, while delaying applications in low-priority markets. - **Avoid overly strict countries**: Patent examination in some countries is strict and time-consuming. By postponing applications in these countries, you can occupy the market in other countries first and extend the global launch time. ### 6. **Legal and time management** - **Understand the differences in patent laws of various countries**: Have a deep understanding of the patent application, examination and granting processes of the target countries, and optimize the application strategy by taking advantage of the differences in the first application date, priority date, etc. of different countries. - **Time management**: Accurately manage the time nodes of patent applications in various countries to ensure that all applications are submitted at the most favorable time to maximize the overall patent protection period. ### 7. **Cooperation and licensing** - **Cross-border cooperation**: Cooperate with local technical partners or legal advisors in various countries to optimize the global patent layout by leveraging their expertise and network. - **License agreement**: Outsource patents to local companies through license agreements, while ensuring patent protection, delaying direct disclosure and application in certain countries. ### Notes - **Legal compliance**: Ensure that all strategies comply with the patent laws of various countries and international treaties to avoid invalidation or rejection of patents due to improper operations. - **Cost management**: Global patent applications and maintenance costs are high, and budget constraints must be fully considered when formulating strategies. - **Professional support**: It is recommended to cooperate with international patent lawyers or professional institutions to develop and implement complex global patent strategies to ensure the effectiveness and legality of the strategies. By comprehensively applying the above strategies, enterprises can effectively utilize the differences in patent application and disclosure systems in different countries and optimize the global patent layout, thereby extending the exclusive time of products in the global market and improving competitive advantages.

Answer: Taking advantage of differences in patent application and disclosure systems in different countries to extend time to market for global products is a common technique used in patent strategies. Here are the key steps: 1. **Understand patent law and procedure**: Familiarize yourself with patent law and procedure in different countries, highlighting differences related to patent application and disclosure systems. This includes priority periods, confidentiality periods, and publication requirements. 2. **File priority application**: File a priority application (e.g., a U.S. provisional application or an international provisional application) in one country to create a record of the earlier application. This provides a starting point for subsequent national phase applications. 3. **Exploit priority period**: Take advantage of the 12-month priority period (under the Philadelphia Treaty) to file patent applications in other countries, claiming priority from the earlier application. This can cause delays in markets such as Europe, Asia, and Africa. 4. **Implement confidentiality periods**: Some countries (such as Japan, South Korea, and China) have confidentiality periods where patent applications are not made public for six months or a year. This can protect technology from being disclosed while applicants file patent applications in these countries. 5. **Exploit regional protection**: Some regions, such as the European Union (EPO) or the European Patent Convention (EPC), allow a single patent application to be filed in multiple countries. This regional protection can reduce the number of patent applications that are publicly disclosed. 6. **Phase-based publication**: Public disclosure can be delayed in a controlled manner by publishing patent applications in phases or using provisional applications to isolate critical information. This involves filing a patent application that does not contain the most critical information first, and then filing a subsequent application that contains this information at a later time. 7. **Exploiting a Certificate of Supplementary Protection**: In some countries (such as those that are members of the European Patent Convention), a Certificate of Supplementary Protection (SPC) can be used to extend patent protection, typically by up to five years. 8. **Regional publication**: Patent applications can be published strategically, taking advantage of differences in patent law and procedures, depending on national or regional publication requirements and timelines. 9. **International filing**: International patent applications are filed using the international Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and the international phase is used to delay public disclosure prior to the national phase. 10. **Managing national phase applications**: National phase applications are prioritized based on their deadlines and publication requirements to minimize delays in public disclosure for global markets. To illustrate this strategy, consider the following example: Let’s say a U.S. company wants to sell a new product worldwide. They first file a provisional application in the U.S. to obtain priority. They then use the priority period to file patent applications in other countries, such as Europe, China, and Japan. To delay public disclosure, they file a patent application in Japan, which has a confidentiality period. During this period, they file a patent application in Europe, using the European Patent Convention (EPC) to obtain regional protection. They then file an international patent application using the International Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) to delay public disclosure before the national phase. When the national phase application reaches the deadline, the company first publishes patent applications in Japan (where the confidentiality period ends) and Europe (regional protection). They then publish a Chinese patent application, where patent law provides some confidentiality. Finally, they publish an international patent application, using the PCT to delay public disclosure. With this strategy, the company can delay public disclosure of its products worldwide for up to 2-5 years (or more), depending on the differences in patent laws in various countries and regions. This strategy will allow the company to protect the confidentiality of its technology for as long as possible while still applying for patent protection for the global market.

Answer: To take advantage of the differences in patent application and disclosure systems in different countries to extend the time to market for products worldwide, the following strategies can be considered: 1. **Select the order of application**: According to the characteristics of the patent systems of various countries, the order of application countries should be reasonably selected. In some countries, you can apply for patents first and then apply for other countries later, thereby extending the market exclusivity of the product. 2. **Priority principle**: Taking advantage of the priority principle of international agreements such as the Paris Convention, after applying for a patent in one country, you can apply for the same patent in other countries within the priority period (generally 12 months), which can delay the actual disclosure time while protecting the exclusive rights of the invention. 3. **Phase disclosure**: Adopt a phased patent application strategy in different countries. For example, in some countries with longer patent examination (such as the United States or Europe), you can apply for patents in these countries first, and temporarily not apply in other countries (such as countries with fast examination), thereby controlling the market disclosure time of the product. 4. **Use the confidentiality system**: In some countries, you can choose not to disclose the application, or keep the confidentiality of the application content for a specific period of time, further controlling the disclosure of information and market competition. 5. **Strategic extension**: Pay attention to the examination process of different countries and global examination trends. In some countries, applicants can request deferred examination or additional materials, so these mechanisms can be used to extend the time to market. 6. **Market-oriented strategy**: Flexibly adjust the pace of patent applications according to changes in demand in different markets. If a market has an increased demand for a specific technology, priority can be given to applying in order to obtain a longer period of exclusivity in that market. 7. **Diversified protection strategy**: Not only rely on patents, but also consider adopting other forms of intellectual property protection such as trademarks and copyrights to form a more comprehensive market protection portfolio. Through the above strategies, companies can effectively utilize the differences in patent application and disclosure systems in different countries to maximize the market exclusivity of products and enhance their competitive advantages.

Answer: Taking advantage of differences in patent application and disclosure systems in different countries to extend the time to market for global products is a complex and cautious strategy involving many legal, ethical and commercial considerations. ### 1. Understand the differences in patent systems in different countries - **Application time and priority** - Many countries follow the principle of priority. When an applicant applies for a patent in another country for the same subject matter within a certain period of time (such as 12 months) after the first patent application, he or she can enjoy the filing date of the first application. Companies can use this rule to reasonably arrange the application time in different countries. - For example, first file a patent application in the United States, and then within the priority period, according to the product development progress and market strategy, choose to apply for patents in other countries in a targeted manner to ensure that patent protection is obtained in key markets while maintaining relative confidentiality of information for a certain period of time. - **Publication time** - Different countries have different regulations on the time of patent application disclosure. Some countries will disclose the patent application within a short period of time after the patent application is submitted, while some countries may give the applicant a longer confidentiality period. - For example, in some countries, patent applications are automatically disclosed in about 18 months, while in other countries, applicants can request a delay in disclosure for up to several years. Companies can take advantage of these differences and, in the early stages, choose to submit applications in countries where some technical details are disclosed later, in order to extend the protection period of technical secrets and buy time for product optimization. - **Examination system** - The patent examination systems of different countries are different, including immediate examination system, delayed examination system, etc. - In countries with delayed examination system, applicants can decide whether to request substantive examination within a certain period (such as 3-7 years) after application. Companies can take advantage of this feature and flexibly decide whether to initiate substantive examination procedures in specific countries before the product is launched based on market feedback and competitive situation. If the market situation is favorable, the examination can be accelerated to obtain patent authorization; if the market is unclear or there is room for improvement in the product, the examination can be temporarily not requested, and the product can be continued to be improved, while maintaining the validity of the application to avoid premature disclosure of technical details. ### 2. Formulate patent application strategy - **Phase application** - According to the product's technical iteration and market expansion plan, apply for patents in different countries in stages. Apply for core technology patents first, and then gradually supplement subsequent related patent applications as the product is improved and new functions are developed. - For example, a smartphone manufacturer, when the initial design of the product is completed, first applies for patents on the basic architecture and main functions of the phone, and then applies for targeted patents in target market countries at the stages of upgrading the phone camera technology and launching new operating system functions. This can not only maintain the consistency of the patent layout, but also take advantage of the characteristics of the local patent system at each stage to appropriately delay the disclosure of some technical details. - **Patent portfolio construction** - Build a multi-level patent portfolio, including basic patents, improvement patents, peripheral patents, etc. By reasonably matching different types of patents, the coverage and strength of patents can be increased, and it is also helpful to use patent disclosure rules in different countries to regulate time. - For example, basic patents cover the core technical principles of the product, and can be applied for priority in some countries with looser restrictions on patent disclosure time to obtain a longer confidentiality advantage; improvement patents are aimed at local innovations of the product. When the product is close to being launched, it is chosen to apply in a timely manner in key market countries, and use the local fast review channel (if any) to obtain authorization as soon as possible to protect the differentiated competitive advantage of the product; peripheral patents focus on the product's appearance design, packaging, etc., and the application time can be flexibly arranged in different countries according to market demand and competition conditions. ### 3. Pay attention to legal and ethical risks - **Comply with legal provisions** - Strictly abide by the patent laws of various countries and relevant international treaties. Any attempt to evade review or delay disclosure by improper means by using institutional differences may face legal risks, resulting in invalidation of the patent or punishment. - For example, once the provision of false information or malicious use of loopholes in the rules is discovered during the application process, the company will face serious legal consequences. Not only may it lose patent protection, but it will also damage the company's reputation and face huge fines and other penalties. - **Moral considerations** - When taking advantage of institutional differences, ethical factors should also be considered. Excessive delays in product launch may harm consumer interests and affect the long-term development of the company. Companies should find the right balance between patent protection and market competition and consumer rights to ensure that their behavior is in line with business ethics and social responsibility. For example, key product safety information or technical defects cannot be deliberately concealed simply to extend the time to market, otherwise it may trigger social pressure and regulatory attention, causing greater negative impact on the company.

Answer: Taking advantage of differences in patent application and disclosure systems in different countries on a global scale to extend product time to market requires a comprehensive use of patent strategies, international legal frameworks, and market layout synergy. The following are specific methods and precautions： --- ###**1. Phased application strategy** 1. **Priority window period (12 months under the Paris Convention)** -First submit the first application in countries with slow review or strong confidentiality (such as China and Japan), and use the 12-month priority period to spread out in other countries to delay the global disclosure time. -**Key points**: The claims can be optimized during the priority period, and subsequent applications will be submitted in a revised version to avoid premature exposure of core technologies. 2. **PCT international application delay tactics** -Delay in entering countries with high examination standards (such as Europe and the United States) through the PCT route (30/31 months to enter the national stage). For example： -After the international phase of the PCT (18 months of disclosure), choose to enter the European, American and other markets only after the deadline (such as the 28th month) to extend the overall review cycle. -**Advantages**: The PCT international search report can evaluate patentability and adjust the layout of the national stage. --- ###**2. Take advantage of differences in national systems** 1. **Review delay strategy** -**Choose a slow examination country**: Apply early in Brazil, India and other countries with long examination cycles (usually 3-5 years) to delay patent authorization time and delay the imitation of competitors. -**Actively request for delay in examination**: In countries that allow delay in examination (such as Canada and South Korea), you can apply for postponement of substantive examination (up to 5 years) to keep the patent application pending. 2. **Division application and renewal system** -**U.S. Renewal (Continuation)**: Continuously expand the scope of protection through the filing of renewal cases, maintain the “pending” status of the patent family, and extend the actual protection period. - **European division application**: Division after objection or authorization, use the division procedure to extend legal uncertainty. 3. **Utility model and invention patent portfolio** -Apply for utility models (authorized in 6-12 months) and inventions (reviewed in 3-5 years) simultaneously in China, Germany and other countries, use utility models for rapid protection, and continue to be protected after the invention is authorized. --- ###**3. Disclosure control and confidentiality mechanism** 1. **Non-public application channels** -Submit a temporary application (Provisional Application) in the United States and convert it to a formal application within 12 months, during which the technology may not be disclosed. -Apply in countries that allow confidential review (such as some areas of South Korea) and delay the disclosure time. 2. **Disclosure of technical information** -Separate the core technology and peripheral technology applications, give priority to the disclosure of secondary patents, and delay the disclosure of core patents through renewal or phased filing. --- ###**4. Market and legal coordination** 1. **Patent layout matches the rhythm of the market** -Authorization in stages in the target market: For example, first accelerate the review in countries with high risk of generic drugs (such as India), and delay authorization in Europe and the United States to match the product life cycle. 2. **Patent term compensation** -Use patent term adjustment (PTA) or supplementary protection certificate (SPC) in the United States, Japan, Europe and other countries to compensate for the period lost due to the delay in examination. --- ###**5. Risk and compliance precautions** 1. **Novelty risk** -Avoid the loss of novelty due to disclosure outside the priority period (for example, the “grace period” in the United States is only 1 year, and there is no grace period in Europe). -In countries with absolute novelty (such as Europe), any publication (including academic papers) may destroy patentability. 2. **Strategy transparency** -Excessive use of delays may lead to challenges from the Patent Office (such as U.S. restrictions on renewal abuse) or invalid challenges from competitors. 3. **Cost trade-off** -Multi-country phased applications require high fees, and market value and cost need to be assessed (for example, the cost of a single country in the PCT national phase is about 50-15,000 US dollars). --- ###**6. Case reference** -**Pharmaceutical industry**: Delay entering the national stage through the PCT, and cooperate with the data exclusivity period of various countries (such as 5 years + patent period compensation in the United States) to maximize market exclusivity. -**Technology company**: After submitting a temporary application in the United States, it will enter Europe through the PCT within 12 months and use the European Supplementary Protection Certificate (SPC) to extend the protection. --- ###**Summary** The core lies in **Flexible use of the time difference between national systems**, combining technology segmentation, review delay and renewal strategies, but it is necessary to balance legal risks and commercial goals. It is recommended to cooperate with local patent lawyers to customize the layout.

Answer: Taking advantage of the differences in patent application and disclosure systems in different countries to extend the time to market of products on a global scale is a complex strategy that requires an in-depth understanding of the patent laws and practices of various countries. Here are some possible methods and precautions： ### 1. **Apply for patents in stages** -**Priority application**: Using the priority system of the Paris Convention, applications can be filed in other countries within 12 months (for invention patents) or within 6 months (for utility model and design patents) after the first application. By filing applications in different countries in stages, the overall patent protection time can be extended. -**PCT international application**: An international application filed through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) can enter the national stage within 30 months. This provides applicants with more time to evaluate the market situation and decide in which countries to seek patent protection. ### 2. **Use the review cycles of different countries** -**Choose a country with a longer examination cycle**: Some countries have a longer patent examination cycle. You can file an application in these countries to extend the pending status of the patent and thus postpone the time to market of the product. -**Request for delay in examination**: In some countries, applicants can request a delay in examination to extend the pending status of the patent. For example, in China, applicants can request a delay in the examination for up to 3 years. ### 3. **Take advantage of the disclosure requirements of different countries** -**Delayed disclosure**: Some countries allow a delay in disclosing the contents of the application for a period of time after the patent application is filed. For example, in China, applicants can request a delay in the publication of patent applications for up to 18 months. -**Selective disclosure**: In some countries, applicants can selectively disclose technical information to avoid premature exposure of key technical details, thereby prolonging the imitation time of competitors. ### 4. **Use the types of patents in different countries** -**Utility model patents**: In some countries, the examination cycle of utility model patents is shorter, but the protection period is also shorter. You can apply for utility model patents in these countries first to obtain protection quickly, and then apply for invention patents to extend the overall protection time. -**Design patents**: In some countries, the examination cycle of design patents is short, and protection can be obtained quickly, thereby extending the market exclusivity period of the product. ### 5. **Use the scope of patent protection in different countries** -**Division application**: In some countries, applicants can divide a patent application into multiple division applications to extend the examination cycle and protection time. -**Continuation of application**: In the United States, applicants can file a Continuation Application to extend the pending status of the patent and obtain a broader scope of protection. ### 6. **Use patent invalidation procedures in different countries** -**Invalidation procedures**: In some countries, patent invalidation procedures have a long period of time. It is possible to extend the patent protection time of competitors by filing invalidation procedures, thereby delaying the time to market of products. ### 7. **Global patent layout strategy** -**Regional patents**: In some regions, such as Europe, patent applications can be filed through the European Patent Office (EPO) and then take effect in different European countries. This can provide applicants with more flexibility to extend the overall protection time. -**International patent portfolio**: By constructing a patent portfolio on a global scale, different protection periods can be obtained in different countries, thereby extending the market exclusivity period of products. ### 8. **Legal and compliance considerations** -**Compliance with national laws**: When taking advantage of differences in patent systems in different countries, we must strictly abide by national laws and regulations to avoid violating patent laws or other relevant laws. -**Consult a professional lawyer**: Due to the complexity of patent laws and practices in various countries, it is recommended to consult a professional patent lawyer to ensure the legality and effectiveness of the strategy. ### 9. **Business and ethical considerations** -**Commercial rationality**: When formulating a strategy to extend the time to market of a product, commercial rationality must be considered to ensure that the strategy is in the long-term interests of the company. -**Ethics and social responsibility**: When taking advantage of differences in the patent system, ethics and social responsibility must be considered to avoid abuse of the patent system and harm the public interest. ### 10. **Monitor and adjust strategies** - **Monitor competitors**: When implementing a strategy to extend the time to market of products, it is necessary to closely monitor the trends of competitors and adjust the strategy in a timely manner. -**Adjust the patent layout**: According to changes in the market and technology, adjust the global patent layout in a timely manner to ensure the effectiveness of the strategy. Through the above methods, companies can take advantage of the differences in patent application and disclosure systems in different countries to a certain extent, and extend the time to market of their products on a global scale. However, this strategy needs to comprehensively consider legal, commercial, ethical and other factors, and

Answer: Taking advantage of the differences in patent application and disclosure systems in different countries to extend the time to market of products on a global scale requires systematic planning in combination with patent strategy, market layout and legal compliance. Here are some key strategies and steps： --- ### **1. Priority and Phased application strategy** -**Priority of the Paris Convention**: Using the 12-month priority period, first submit the first application in the country that requires early disclosure (such as China and Europe), and then submit the application to the United States (not disclosed before authorization) or other countries that have delayed disclosure within the priority period to control the technology.Disclosure time. -**PCT international applications**: Through the "Patent Cooperation Treaty" (PCT), the time to enter the national phase (up to 30 months) is postponed, the technical evaluation period is extended, and the pace of examination in various countries is adjusted at the same time. --- ### **2. Choose a country with a large difference in disclosure time** -**Non-public countries**: For example, the United States (not public before authorization), you can give priority to submitting a provisional application or a formal application to ensure that the technical content is kept confidential before authorization. -**Early disclosure countries**: Such as China, Europe, and Japan (which are automatically disclosed 18 months after the application), the disclosure can be delayed through the priority strategy, or part of the application can be withdrawn before the disclosure to avoid premature technology exposure. --- ### **3. Use of delayed review system** -**Request for postponement of examination**: In countries that allow for postponement of examination (such as Japan, South Korea, and Europe), actively request for postponement of examination (up to 7 years delay) to delay the patent authorization time, thereby delaying the time for the technology to enter the public domain. -**Phased authorization**: For example, submit a Continuation application and a Division application in the United States, and gradually expand the scope of claims to cover the iterative version of the product. --- ### **4. Patent term compensation and adjustment** -**Patent term adjustment (PTA)**: In the United States, the Patent Office's examination delay is used to apply for adjustment of the validity period of a patent; for specific fields such as pharmaceuticals, the patent term for application is extended (PTE, up to 5 years). -**Revision of Chinese Patent Law**: New drug-related patents can be applied for for a maximum compensation period of 5 years, which must be planned in conjunction with the time for listing and approval. --- ### **5. Peripheral patent layout and technology segmentation** -**Spin-off technology plan**: Split the core technology into multiple patent applications (such as methods, systems, and components) and submit them in batches in different countries to extend the overall protection cycle. -**Layout of peripheral patents**: Apply for improved patents, design patents or utility models in key markets (such as China and Germany) to form a patent network to prevent competitors from bypassing core patents. --- ### **6. Coordinate global market access and patent layout** -**Low-risk market priority**: Apply first in countries with weak imitation capabilities (such as some developing countries), and delay patent applications in countries with strong imitation capabilities or strict examination (such as India and Europe). -**Patent cliff management**: Through the differences in patent expiration times in different countries, the market will be withdrawn in stages or the second-generation products will be launched. --- ### **7. Compliance and legal risk aversion** -**Avoid abuse of procedures**: Some countries (such as Europe) may consider deliberate delays in review or repeated applications to be an abuse of procedures, and it is necessary to ensure strategic compliance. -**Monitoring disclosure obligations**: Some countries require the disclosure of global patent application information of the same family (such as the U.S. IDS system) to avoid concealment and invalidate patents. --- ###**Example operation flow** 1. **Stage 1**: Submit a temporary application (not public) in the United States and start the R&D confidentiality period. 2. **Stage 2**: Enter China and Europe through the PCT or the Paris Convention within 12 months (open after 18 months), and submit a formal application in the United States at the same time. 3. **Stage 3**: Use the PCT 30-month period to postpone entry into India, Brazil and other countries with active generics, evaluate the market and then decide whether to enter. 4. **Stage 4**: Request a delay in review (up to 7 years) in Japan and South Korea, and gradually authorize it in line with the product launch plan. 5. **Stage 5**: The improved version of the product is covered by the continuation of the application in the United States, and a separate application is submitted in Europe to expand the scope of protection. --- ###**Precautions** -**Cost trade-off**: Delay strategies may increase patent application and maintenance costs, and the input-output ratio needs to be evaluated. -**Legal advice**: Professional lawyers must formulate plans in accordance with the latest regulations of the target country to avoid the failure of the strategy due to system changes. Through the above strategies, companies can maximize the patent protection cycle within the legal framework, coordinate the pace of global product launches, and delay generic competition. However, it should be noted that excessive dependence on institutional differences may lead to loss of market opportunities, which need to be combined with technological iteration and dynamic adjustment of business goals.

Answer: Here are some ideas, but before using this kind of sarcasm, be sure to consider the other person's feelings and the overall atmosphere of the class to avoid causing unnecessary conflicts or harm. If you already have a foundation for joking and teasing, the following expressions can be used as references: 1. Hinting at different time concepts "I'm beginning to wonder if we use different clocks... Someone secretly told me that your 'standard time' is never on the same channel as ours?" 2. Using news reports to tease "Breaking news: It is said that a certain 'late champion' has topped the list again, setting a new record of 'unparalleled late artifact', everyone come and watch!" 3. Borrowing famous quotes "Some people say 'the early bird catches the worm', it seems that our 'night owl' is more suitable for the label of 'late bat'." 4. Flattering and reverse complimenting "Every time I look forward to the 'mysterious guest' appearing on time in class, your performance really makes our class full of suspense!" These sentences try to focus on teasing behavior rather than directly attacking personality, which can not only express your helplessness and humorous attitude towards the phenomenon of lateness, but also leave room for everyone to smile knowingly. Of course, it is best to use it when the atmosphere is familiar and both parties feel that such mutual teasing is a friendly game. Once again, humor should be used in moderation. The key is to focus on the behavior rather than the individual.
