Under what circumstances can I change my patent certificate?
According to the relevant provisions of China's patent law, you can apply for replacing the patent certificate in the following two situations. Next, Bajie Intellectual Property will take you to know the relevant knowledge. Under what circumstances can I change my patent certificate? 1. If the patent ownership dispute is handled by the local intellectual property office (or the corresponding functional department) or the people's court makes a judgment, the parties concerned may, after the decision or judgment becomes legally effective, request the Patent Office to change the patent certificate while going through the formalities for changing the patentee. Anyone who requests to change the patent certificate shall return the original patent certificate and pay the handling fee. After receiving the request to replace the patent certificate, the Patent Office shall verify the file of the patent application. If it meets the requirements, it may re-create the patent certificate and send it to the parties concerned. The original certificate shall be deposited in the file of the patent application after the word "replace". 2. If the reissued patent certificate is misprinted due to the misprint of the certificate, the patentee may return the certificate and request the Patent Office to correct it. If it is verified by the Patent Office as a typo, it shall be corrected and a replacement certificate shall be issued to the patentee. After the original certificate records the changed words, it shall be kept in the patent application documents. The patent certificate shall not be replaced if the description items are changed due to the transfer, inheritance or gift of the patent right. If the patent certificate is lost, it will not be reissued unless it is caused by the responsibility of the Patent Office.
