Patent LawThe National People's Congress adopted the Patent Law of the People's Republic of China in 1984, and amended it in 1992, 2000 and 2008. A patentable invention, utility model or design must meet three conditions: novelty, inventiveness and practical applicability. Patents cannot be granted for scientific discoveries, rules and methods for intellectual activities, methods used to diagnose or treat diseases, animal and plant breeds or substances obtained by means of nuclear transformation. The Patent Office under the State Council is responsible for receiving, examining and approving patent applications. A patent is valid for a twenty-year term in the case of an invention and a ten-year term in the case of a utility model or design, starting from the application date. A third-party user must obtain consent or a proper license from the patent owner except for certain specific circumstances provided by law. Otherwise, the use will constitute an infringement of the patent rights.
Patent Law. Patents have long been used to protect computer hardware systems and are increasingly used to protect software innovations, such as algorithms and data structures, as well as methods of doing business in the electronic environment. Chapters 3 and 8 show that the United States and other nations differ in their approaches to patent protections for computer software. Patents are granted to inventors who meet several substantive and procedural requirements. First, the invention must fall within the class of patentable subject matter. Generally, this means it cannot be a purely mental discovery or a law of nature. Second, the resulting product or process must be useful. It must also be novel and be more than an obvious advance over the prior art. A patent is awarded in the United States to the first to invent, not the first to file, a patent claim, as is common in other countries. A patent gives the patentee the exclusive right to use or license the patented product or process in the United States for 20 years from the date the patent application was filed. A patent is not automatically awarded. Rather, the Patent Office requires its examiners to carefully scrutinize the application and make a judgment about whether the patent should be issued. Many applications are disapproved, and others are approved only after significant narrowing of the patent claims. If the Patent Office grants an inventor a patent, the patent is published, so that everyone else can learn what the inventor has made and how to make it. The inventor gets the right to prevent anyone else in the United States from making, using, or selling a product or process covered by the “claims” of the patent (the portion of the patent defining the invention) while it is in force. If another party does make, use, or sell the patented invention during the term of this exclusive right, the patent owner (called the patentee) is entitled to sue them for infringement of the patent. If the patentee proves that the defendant is in fact infringing the patented invention, the patentee can obtain an injunction against the infringer and damages for past infringement. A patentee can also prevent others from importing infringing works into the United States. Under 35 U.S.C. §§171-173, an inventor may obtain a design patent for “any new, original and ornamental design for an article of manufacture.” In order to receive protection, the inventor must establish that the design is novel, nonobvious, and ornamental, which ...
