What are the consequences of patent infringement?

Legal Analysis: Consequences of Patent Infringement: (1) Civil sanctions for infringement. Patent law mainly adopts civil sanctions for patent infringement. When dealing with infringement, the patent administration organ or the people's court mainly orders the infringer to stop the infringement and compensate the losses. (2) Administrative sanctions against infringement. The patent law stipulates administrative responsibilities for acts such as counterfeiting other people's patents, revealing state secrets, and engaging in malpractices for personal gain. (3) Criminal sanctions for infringement. According to the provisions of the patent law, patent infringement is mainly subject to civil sanctions, but sometimes criminal sanctions are also needed.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Patent Law.
