Legal basis:
Article 27 of the Measures for the Administrative Enforcement of Patents, if a dispute over the right to apply for a patent or the ownership of a patent requests mediation, the parties concerned may request China National Intellectual Property Administration to suspend the relevant procedures of the patent application or patent right on the basis of the notification of acceptance by the patent administration department. If an agreement is reached through mediation, the parties concerned shall go through the restoration procedures in China National Intellectual Property Administration with the mediation agreement. If no agreement can be reached, the parties concerned shall go through the restoration procedures in China National Intellectual Property Administration with the revocation notice issued by the patent administration department. If no extension of suspension is requested within 1 year from the date of suspension request, China National Intellectual Property Administration will resume relevant procedures on its own.
