Legal objectivity:

"Several Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on the Applicable Law in the Trial of Patent Disputes" Article 13 When the people's court carries out property preservation of the patent right, it shall issue a notice of assistance in execution to the patent administration department of the State Council, specifying the matters needing assistance in execution and the time limit for patent preservation, and attach the ruling of the people's court. The duration of the patent right shall be counted from the date when the patent administrative department of the State Council receives the notice of assistance in execution, and each time shall not exceed six months. Where the patent right still needs to be preserved, the people's court shall, before the expiration of the preservation period, serve a notice of assistance in execution to the patent administration department of the State Council. If it is not delivered before the expiration of the preservation period, it shall be deemed that the property preservation of the patent right is automatically lifted. The people's court may take property preservation measures for the pledged patent right, and the priority of the pledgee is not affected by the preservation measures; The exclusive license contract signed by the patentee and the licensee shall not affect the property preservation of the patent right by the people's court. The people's court shall not repeatedly preserve the patent right that has been preserved.
