How to handle the entrustment procedure in the patent invalidation procedure

Where the patentee entrusts a patent agency in the invalidation procedure, it is necessary to submit a power of attorney for the invalidation procedure, which states that the authorization is limited to the relevant affairs of the invalidation procedure.

In the procedure of invalidation, the patentee may entrust a full-time agency or other non-full-time agencies within the validity period of the patent right. The procedures of entrustment, dissolution and resignation of the patentee can be handled directly in the reexamination and invalidation department, and there is no need to change the recorded items in China National Intellectual Property Administration. Moreover, the patentee may entrust multiple patent agencies in the invalidation procedure, but one of them needs to be designated as the recipient.
