2. Patents generally only publish technical solutions. In addition to the technical scheme, there are experimental data, etc., and the paper can be published without any influence.
3. In view of this situation, in fact, only the articles published before the application date will affect the novelty of the patent, so you can apply for a patent and publish the paper at the same time in the future, because there is a long period from submission to publication of the paper, so you only need to apply for a patent before the paper is published.
