The new Chinese patent law in practice

The third major revision of the Chinese patent law entered into force in October 2009. Strengthening patent enforcement in China was one major aspect of the revision; other changes included the introduction of absolute novelty and a "confidentiality examination" by SIPO for inventions made in China.  

Some six months after the entry into force, what are patent practitioners experiences with the new Chinese patent law? What effects on filing, patent prosecution and enforcement can be observed? How are patent applicants in China and abroad reacting to the changes? What impacts have there been on patenting behaviour?  

Join this discussion round to hear from experts and to share your viewpoints and experiences.

Upon the request of the applicant, the China Patent Office may publish the application earlier. Upon the request of the applicant for a patent for invention, made at any time within three years from the date of filing, the China Patent Office will proceed to examine the application as to substance.
