I'm going to apply for a patent but I'm not sure how to prepare the application. 我想申请专利，但不知道如何准备。
Would you please help me? 你能帮我吗？

The description is particularly important. 说明书尤其重要。

How long shall I have to wait for the approval? 获得专利我要等多长时间？

The Patent Office will announce the result and notify the application within 18 months. 专利局会在18个月内公布结果，公告专利。
Even then you still don't get the patent certificate. 即使到那时，您也拿不到专利证书。
Why? 为什么？

I don't know the reason why the duration of protection is only 15 years? 我不知道专利的保护期为什么只有15年？
This is only for one of the patent rights. 只有一种专利权保护期限是15年。
For invention the duration of protection is even shorter, only for 5 years protection. 发明专利保护期限是15年。至于实用新型和外观设计专利，保护期更短，只有5年。

No, 15-year protection is the minimum protection any country will grant its patentees. 不是，各国都对专利人给予了最低15年的专利保护。
In some countries, the patent right duration for invention is 20 years. 在一些国家，发明专利的保护期是20年。
