Do patent promotion and application need to be approved by the patent administration department of the State Council?

No, patent promotion and application belongs to market economy behavior and does not need administrative examination and approval. Of course, if the technology falls within the specific scope of administrative approval, then the whole project needs approval, but it is not a patent.

It should be noted that if an enterprise is a service invention, the inventor should be rewarded after the patent is implemented.

In addition, we should understand that patent implementation not only does not require the approval of the administrative department, but will lead to administrative intervention, which is called "patent compulsory license" in patent law. [Advanced Intellectual Property]
