Chapter Two Handling of Patent Infringement Disputes
Article 5 Following requirements shall be satisfied when filing request with the administrative authority for patent affairs for handling a patent infringement dispute:
(1) The requester is the patentee or an interested party;
(2) The respondent is clearly identified;
(3) The matter in respect of which the request is filed is specific and the facts and reasons definite;
(4) The case falls into the scope of acceptance by and under the jurisdiction of the administrative authority for patent affairs receiving it; and
(5) The interested party has not instituted proceedings in the People's Court in respect of the patent infringement dispute.
The interested parties mentioned in (1) include, among others, the licensee of a licensing contract for exploitation of a patent and the legitimate successor of a patent right. Of the former, the exclusive licensee of a licensing contract for exploitation of a patent may file the request alone; and the sole licensee of a licensing contract for exploitation of a patent may do so when the patentee does not file the request. Unless otherwise agreed upon in a contract, an ordinary licensee of a licensing contract for exploitation of a patent shall not file a request alone.
Article 6 Where the administrative authority for patent affairs is requested for handling a patent infringement dispute, the requester shall submit a Request and a copy of the Patent Certificate of the patent right in respect of which the request is filed and furnish the same number of copies of the Request as that of the respondents.
When necessary, the administrative authority for patent affairs may check with the State Intellectual Property Office the legal status of the patent right in respect of which the request is filed. Where a patent infringement dispute involves a patent for utility model, the administrative authority for patent affairs may require the requester to hand in the search report issued by the State Intellectual Property Office.
Article 7 The Request shall contain, among other things, the following information:
(1) name or title and address of the requester, and the name and position of the legal representative of the requester, the name of agent or title and address of the agency where an agent has been appointed;
(2) name or title and address of the respondent(s); and
(3) the matter in respect of which and the facts and reasons for which the request is filed,
Relevant evidence and proofs may be submitted in the form of appendixes attached to the Request.
The Request shall be signed or sealed by the requester.
Article 8 Where the request meets the requirements of Article 5 of these Measures, the administrative authority for patent affairs shall put it on file for handling and notify the requester within 7 days from the receipt of the Request, and, meanwhile, appoint three or more staff members (in odd number) to handle the patent infringement dispute; where the request does not meet the requirements of Article 5 of these Measures, the administrative authority for patent affairs shall inform the requester that the request is not accepted and tell the reason for the non-acceptance within 7 days from the receipt of the Request.
Article 9 The administrative authority for patent affairs shall forward the copies of the Request and the appendixes thereto to the respondent by postal or direct delivery or by other means within 7 days from the date of putting it on file for handling, requiring him to submit his written defence in duplicate. The respondent's failure to do so at the expiration of the time limit does not affect the handling of the case by the administrative authority for patent affairs.

Article 10 In handling a patent infringement dispute, the administrative authority for patent affairs may, as required by the facts of a case, decide whether or not an oral hearing should be conducted. Where it decides to do so, the administrative authority for patent affairs shall inform the interested parties of the time and place of the oral hearing 3 days before the oral hearing is to be conducted. Where the requester or the respondent refuses to show up without a good reason, or leaves when oral hearing is not over, as in the former case, the request shall be deemed to have been withdrawn, and as in the latter case, the respondent is deemed to be absent.
Article 11 Where the administrative authority for patent affairs holds an oral hearing, it shall make a record of the participants and main points thereof, and the staff members handling the case and the participants shall sign or seal the records after they are examined and found error free.
Article 12 Article 56, paragraph one, “the extent of protection of the patent right for invention or utility model shall be determined by the terms of the claims” of the Patent Law means that the extent of protection of the patent right should be determined by the extent of the technical features as stated in the claims, including also the extent as determined by those equivalent to the claimed technical features. By the equivalent features are meant those using basically the same means, performing basically the same function and achieving basically the same effect as the claimed technical features, and which can be contemplated by a person ordinarily skilled in the art without inventive labor.
Article 13 Unless the interested parties reach a mediation or conciliation agreement or
the requester withdraws his request, the administrative authority for patent affairs handling a patent infringement dispute shall prepare the Resolution Decision, in which the following information is given:
(1) names or titles and addresses of the interested parties;
(2) facts and reasons given by the interested parties;
(3) reasons for which and bases on which the determination is made as to whether the infringing acts is constituted;
(4) where the Decision determines the constitution of the infringing act, the category, object and scope of the infringing act shall be indicated which the respondent is ordered to cease performing; where Decision does not determines the constitution of the infringing act, the request by the requester shall be rejected; and
(5) approach of and time limit for instituting administrative proceedings if a party is not satisfied with the Decision.
The Resolution Decision shall be signed by the staff members handling the case, and sealed by the administrative authority for patent affairs.
Article 14 Where, after the administrative authority for patent affairs makes the decision or the People's Court renders the judgment on the constitution of the infringing act, the respondent commits again the same infringing act of the same patent right, and the patentee or the interested party requests for handling the matter, the administrative authority for patent affairs may directly decide to order the cessation of the infringing act.
