The new patent law stipulates that it is illegal to promise to sell?

Promising to sell is a promise to sell goods through advertising, display on store shelves or at trade fairs. Before the amendment, the patent law did not stipulate the promise of sales right in the patent right of design.

Considering that design is the dominant field in China, it is beneficial for China to improve the patent protection level of design. The revised patent law adds the right to promise to sell to the design patent, stipulating that after the design patent is granted, no unit or individual may exploit its patent without the permission of the patentee, that is, it may not manufacture, promise to sell, sell or import its patented product for production and business purposes.

After this modification, the patentee of a design can prevent others from promising to sell the patented product by advertising, displaying the patented product on the shelves of stores or at trade fairs without their permission. Generally speaking, the new patent law adds some protection to appearance.
