The patentee is the owner and holder of the patent right. That is, when the patent application is approved, the patent applicant is granted the patent right. The patentee can be a unit or an individual. The patentee thinks as follows: 1. The obligation of the patentee is mainly to pay the annual patent fee. Article 43 of the Patent Law stipulates that the patentee shall pay the annual fee from the year when the patent right is granted. Failure to pay the annual fee as required may lead to the termination of the patent right. 2. The patentee shall not abuse the patent right, monopolize the patent right or engage in unfair competition. 3. The patentee shall timely implement the patent. Where the patentee does not exploit the patent or does not permit others to exploit the patent, he may apply for a compulsory license.
