Let's first look at what types of so-called patents include. 1. An invention patent refers to a new technical scheme proposed for a product, method or its improvement. 2. A patent for utility model refers to a new technical scheme for the shape, structure or combination of products, which is suitable for practical use. 3. Design patent refers to a new design which is aesthetically pleasing and suitable for industrial application based on the shape, pattern or their combination of products and the combination of colors, shapes and patterns. As can be seen from the above, new discoveries in mathematics cannot be patented, so I suggest you apply for academic awards!
