Inventionsaredifferentfromscientificdiscoveries.Inventionsmainlycreatethingsthatwerenotthereinthepast,anddiscoveriesmainlyrevealtheexistenceandattributesofunknownthings.

Theinventionisanoveltechnologicalachievement,notsimplyimitatingexistingartifactsorrepeatingtheschemesandmeasuresthathavebeenputforwardbythepredecessors.Atechnologicalachievementcannotbecalledaninventionifitcanbefoundintheexistingtechnologicalsystemintermsofprinciple,structureandfunction.

ScientificandtechnologicalinventionsmostlycomefromEuropeandtheUnitedStates.The"materialization"oftheseinventionsintonewproductsorprototypesalsocomesfromthehandsofEuropeansandAmericans.However,mostofthe"finalstage"workofturninganewproductortrialproductintoaproductworthyofmassproductionandbringingittothemarketismostlydonebytheJapanese.
