On the deficiency and perfection of China's current patent law

Patent law is the sum total of legal norms to adjust certain social relations arising from inventions and promote technological progress and economic development. As far as its nature is concerned, patent law is both a domestic law and a foreign-related law; It is not only a substantive law that establishes the rights and obligations of the patentee, but also a procedural law that stipulates a series of procedural systems for patent application, examination and approval. It is not only a law to adjust the vertical relationship between patent application, examination, approval and patent implementation management, but also a law to adjust the horizontal relationship between patent ownership, patent transfer and license. It is not only a law to adjust the patent personal relationship, but also a law to adjust the patent property relationship.
