Is it illegal to steal someone else's patent number without knowing it?

There are some logical problems in your statement. The patent number of others is not yours, you know, but you stole it on purpose. How could you not know? Legally speaking, if it is not intentional and not for profit, it does not constitute illegal, but it should be returned to unjust enrichment. Those who meet the requirements of Article 69 of the Patent Law shall not be regarded as patent infringement. Article 1 and Article 60 of the Patent Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), where a patent is exploited without the permission of the patentee, that is, the patent right is infringed and disputes are caused, the parties concerned shall settle them through consultation; Unwilling to negotiate or failing to do so, the patentee or interested party may bring a suit in a people's court or request the administrative department for patent affairs to handle it. When the administrative department for patent affairs finds that the infringement is established, it may order the infringer to stop the infringement immediately. If a party refuses to accept the decision, he may bring a lawsuit to the people's court in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China within 15 days from the date of receiving the notice of handling. If the infringer fails to prosecute and stop the infringement upon expiration of the time limit, the administrative department for patent affairs may apply to the people's court for compulsory execution. At the request of the parties concerned, the administrative department for patent affairs may mediate the amount of compensation for patent infringement; If mediation fails, the parties may bring a lawsuit to the people's court in accordance with the Civil Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC).

2. Article 63 Anyone who counterfeits a patent shall bear civil liability according to law, and the administrative department for patent affairs shall order him to make corrections and make a public announcement, confiscate his illegal income, and may concurrently impose a fine of less than four times his illegal income; If there is no illegal income, a fine of less than 200,000 yuan may be imposed; If a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.
