Article 60 of the Patent Law stipulates that the administrative department for patent in the State Council shall promptly notify the patentee of the decision to grant compulsory license, and register and announce it.

The decision to grant compulsory license shall stipulate the scope and time of implementation according to the reasons for compulsory license. When the reasons for compulsory license are eliminated and no longer exist, the administrative department for patent in the State Council shall, at the request of the patentee, make a decision to terminate the compulsory license after examination.

Article 61 of the Patent Law stipulates that a unit or individual that has obtained a compulsory license for exploitation does not have the exclusive right to exploit it and has no right to allow others to exploit it.

Article 65 of the Patent Law If a patent is exploited without the permission of the patentee, that is, the patent right is infringed. In case of any dispute, the parties concerned shall settle it 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.

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).
