Termination of patent right Why will the patent right be terminated? After the termination of the patent right, the invention will become the wealth of society, and any unit or individual can use it for free. This means that the protection period of the patent right has passed. There are three main reasons: 1. Termination without compensation. The Patent Office will issue a notice of payment, informing the applicant that after paying the annual fee and overdue fine, if the applicant still fails to pay or fails to pay the annual fee and overdue fine in full, the patent right will be terminated from the date of expiration of the previous year. 2. The patentee waives the patent right in writing. Since the date of authorization, if the grant of the patent right does not conform to the relevant provisions of the Patent Law, any unit or individual may request that the patent right be declared invalid. Where a patent right is requested to be declared invalid or partially invalid, the applicant shall pay the required fees and submit a request for invalidation in duplicate, indicating the name and patent number of the patent requested to be declared invalid, the facts and reasons on which it is based, and attach the necessary evidence. After the patentee renounces his patent right, his patent right shall be terminated upon registration and announcement by the patent administrative department of the State Council. If a party refuses to accept the decision on the request for invalidation of a patent, he may bring a suit in a people's court within three months from the date of receiving the notice. The patent office shall register and announce the decision after it becomes legally effective. An invalid patent right shall be regarded as nonexistent from the beginning. 3.
