Meanwhile, simple patents are granted for any new invention, development of existing products or processes, and can be applied in industry. Simple patents are granted for inventions that are products that are not just different in their technical features, but must have a more practical function/utility than previous inventions due to their form, configuration, construction, or components that include tools, goods, machines, compositions, formulas, compounds, or systems. Simple patents are also granted for inventions that are new processes or methods.
2. The claims of a simple patent are limited to one independent claim, while the number of claims in a patent is not limited.
