What are the rights and obligations of the patentee?

Legal subjectivity:

I. Rights of the patentee 1. The right to exploit patents by oneself means the act of manufacturing, using, selling, promising to sell and import patented products or using patented methods by oneself. 2. To license others to exploit their patents, the licensee shall obtain the corresponding patent exploitation right and pay the patent royalties to the patentee. 3. The right to prohibit others from exploiting their patents. Without the permission of the patentee, no unit or individual may exploit its patent, that is, it may not manufacture, use or sell its patented products or use its patented methods for production and business purposes. After the design patent is granted, no unit or individual may exploit the patent without the permission of the patentee, that is, may not manufacture or sell its patented products for production and business purposes. 4. Right to request protection. The patentee or interested party may, without the permission of the patentee, request the patent administration organ to handle the patent infringement, or directly bring a suit in the people's court. 5. The right to transfer the patent right. The right to apply for a patent and the patent right can be transferred. Where a unit owned by the whole people transfers the right to apply for a patent or the patent right, it must be approved by the competent authority at a higher level. Where a unit or individual in China transfers the patent application right or patent right to a foreigner, it must be approved by the relevant competent department in the State Council. Where the right to apply for a patent or the patent right is transferred, the parties concerned must conclude a written contract, which will take effect after it is registered and announced by the Patent Office. 6. The right to mark the patent right on the product, the patentee has the right to mark the patent mark and patent number on the patented product or the packaging of the product.

Legal objectivity:

Article 9 of the Patent Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). Only one patent right can be granted for the same invention-creation. However, if the same applicant applies for a patent for utility model and a patent for invention at the same time on the same day, and the patent for utility model obtained earlier has not been terminated, and the applicant abandons the patent for utility model, the patent for invention may be granted.
