Can patent disputes be arbitrated?

Patent disputes can be settled by arbitration. Any civil or economic dispute that both parties have the right to handle can be submitted for arbitration. China's laws clearly stipulate the scope of disputes that can be submitted for arbitration. Contract disputes and other property rights disputes between citizens, legal persons and other organizations with equal subjects may be arbitrated. The following disputes in Article 3 of the Arbitration Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) cannot be arbitrated: (1) disputes over marriage, adoption, guardianship, maintenance and inheritance; (two) administrative disputes that should be handled by administrative organs according to law.
