问题     Imagine that you have already designed or invented a new toy or computer game. The next most important step is to protect your achievement.
    To do this, you need to get a patent. This will make sure that you, the inventor, have the right to forbid others from making, using or selling your invention. It only works in the country where you get the patent and for a limited time. So, how can you get a patent? There are three main steps;
    1. Keep records of your discovery.
    Write a diary of your progress on your invention, including your idea before doing any experiments. Use drawings and photographs if it is possible.
    Keep any other records that might help you prove the facts and dates of your achievements.
    Get at least one trusted person who can understand your invention and sign and date your written description of your project. Then sign the records yourself and write the date.
    If another inventor should come up with "your invention" at about the same time, the re-cords could be looked at to prove who was the first inventor.
    2. Make sure your idea is new and practical.
    Maybe someone else has already had or used the same idea and received a patent for it. You need to do some research on patents relating to your invention. If it has already been listed as a patent, or described in a printed publication anywhere in the world, then you can’t get a patent.
    The next thing to do is to test its practicality; do you have something that the public is willing to pay for? Under the conditions of China’s patent law, your discovery must be " useful".
    3. Ask for professional help.
    Doing the research and preparing the paperwork needed for a patent can be very complicated. For example, you might find something very similar to your invention, but is it just similar or exacdy the same as yours? And sometimes the wrong use of one word in your application form can cause you great loss. So get professional help. Visit China’s State Intellectual Property Office website; www. sipo. gov. cn for more information.
    Finally, remember not to talk too soon. You must be careful about whom you discuss your invention with. Wait until your idea is properly protected by law before telling the world about it.
According to the passage, a patent______.

选项 A、stops the inventor from selling his invention
B、works only in the inventor’s country
C、stops the others from selling the inventor’s invention
D、has no time limit

答案C

解析 专利能够阻止其他人销售发明者的发明。A意思明显不对,B选项说专利只在发明者本国有效,而原文说专利在取得专利权的国家有效,因此不对。D选项说专利没有时间限制,而根据原文,专利是有时间限制的。
