My paper has been submitted, but it hasn't been published yet. My tutor wants to apply for a patent, will it affect my tutor's patent application?
A: No.

Reason: According to Article 22 of the Patent Law, "inventions and utility models that are granted patent rights shall be novel, creative and practical.

Novelty means that the invention or utility model does not belong to the prior art; No unit or individual filed an application for the same invention or utility model with the administrative department for patent in the State Council before the filing date, and it was recorded in the patent application documents published or announced after the filing date.

..... The term "existing technology" as mentioned in this Law refers to the technology known to the public at home and abroad before the date of filing. "

Your paper has been submitted, but it has not been published, that is to say, it has not been published, and it will not affect the patent application before it is officially published. But you should file a patent application as soon as possible, so as not to affect the patent application because of the publication of the paper.
