As for the time of hearing, there is no clear stipulation in the law, which can only be mastered by the court before the case is closed. Patent disputes belong to civil and commercial disputes, and the Civil Procedure Law is applicable. Article 149 of the Civil Procedure Law stipulates that a case tried by the people's court through ordinary procedures shall be concluded within six months from the date of filing the case. If there are special circumstances that need to be extended, it can be extended for six months with the approval of the president of our hospital; If an extension is needed, it shall be reported to the people's court at a higher level for approval. Patent litigation cases take a long time. If the other party does not appeal in the first instance, it usually takes about one year, or at least half a year. We are afraid that the other party will appeal when accepting such cases. If the other party invites an experienced lawyer, the patent will be invalid first and then appealed. A patent case will not come down for two years. Litigation is a time-consuming and expensive thing, which requires perseverance and patience!
