Is it possible that a patent application will be divulged after submission?

Except for early publication cases in which the patent cases in application will be made public after 18 months from the application date (or from the earliest preemption right claiming date for those that claim the preemption right), all application cases will be kept confidential without being disclosed prior to approval announcement being made or patents being made public. In case of divulgence, the offender will take the criminal responsibility for divulgence of secrets, as well as civil responsibility for damage compensation.
