If you are not satisfied with the decision of the Patent Reexamination Board, why can't you apply for administrative reconsideration?

Because the patent law has made special provisions on related issues, it is impossible to apply for administrative reconsideration according to the principle that special law is superior to general law.

Legal analysis

The application for reconsideration may be submitted in person or sent to the Administrative Reconsideration Office of the Patent Office. According to the Regulations on Administrative Reconsideration, the following specific administrative acts cannot be applied for reconsideration: (1) The patent applicant refuses to accept the decision made by the Patent Office to reject the patent application; (two) the patentee or the licensee who implements the compulsory license is not satisfied with the decision made by the Patent Office to implement the compulsory license fee; (3) The patent applicant, the patentee and the claimant for invalidation are not satisfied with the decision of the Patent Reexamination Board.
