Can the applied patent be revoked?

Can the applied patent be revoked? The answer is yes. China's patent law stipulates that if the patent right has not been granted, the applicant may withdraw the original application at any time before that. If an applied patent is to be withdrawn, the original patent applicant must submit the required written statement to the relevant patent administration department. In the statement, the name, application number and application date of the patent for withdrawal shall be stated. Then, after receiving the application documents for withdrawing the patent application, the relevant patent administration departments will review them and finally make an announcement. This kind of patent withdrawal behavior is usually called express, that is, the applicant actively applies for withdrawal. It should be noted that if the relevant departments have prepared for printing the relevant information documents of patent application, and the applicant withdraws the application at this time, it can still be approved, but the patent application documents will be published together with the withdrawal statement. If you can try to file a withdrawal application before the relevant departments prepare the information documents, you can also file a new similar application. Article 32 of the Patent Law An applicant may withdraw his patent application at any time before being granted a patent right. Article 33 An applicant may modify the patent application documents, but the modification of the application documents for patents for inventions and utility models shall not exceed the scope recorded in the original specifications and claims, and the modification of the application documents for patents for designs shall not exceed the scope shown in the original pictures or photographs. Article 34 After receiving an application for a patent for invention, the administrative department for patent in the State Council, after preliminary examination, finds that it conforms to the provisions of this Law, and shall publish it after 18 months from the date of filing. The patent administration department of the State Council may publish its application at an early date upon the request of the applicant. Article 35 Within 3 years from the date of filing, the administrative department for patent in the State Council may, upon the request of the applicant at any time, make a substantive examination of the application; If the applicant fails to request substantive examination within the time limit without justifiable reasons, the application shall be deemed to have been withdrawn. There is another situation, which we call implied, that is, the applicant passively withdraws the original patent application. How to understand this? Let's take an example: for example, after examining the patent application, the Patent Office found that there were some questions that needed clarification from the applicant, so it sent a notice to the applicant asking for a reply within a certain period of time. If the applicant fails to reply within the specified time, it will also be regarded as abandoning the patent application, that is, withdrawing the patent application.
