"Apply for a patent?"
Li Yao blinked his eyes, stupefied for a brief moment.
Although the Demon Beast Detector was invented by him, the array glyphs and algorithms it employed were the creation of others. Even the most important crystal eye was manufactured by others. How could he even apply for a patent?
Yuan Manqiu said:
"The technology employed by the Demon Beast Detector is very well developed and is ready to use, but its components are new and very creative, greatly elevating the practicality of many array glyphs and algorithms. Therefore, you can apply for a 'utility patent' and the probability of it getting approved is rather large. And once you have obtained the utility patent, you will also be awarded 3,000 credits as per the Institute's rules and regulations!"
Li Yao smacked his head as he suddenly came to realize.
The Star Glory Federation's patent system consisted of two kinds of patents: the invention patent and the utility patent.
