According to the provisions of China's patent law, foreigners and foreign enterprises applying for patents in China can be divided into two situations:
(1) Foreigners with permanent residence and business office in China should enjoy the same treatment as citizens of China. Therefore, when applying for a patent in China, the procedures for applying for a patent are exactly the same as those for units and individuals in China. You can apply for it yourself or entrust a domestic patent agency to handle it.
(2) According to the relevant provisions of Articles 18 and 19 of the Patent Law, a foreign enterprise applying for a patent in China must entrust a patent agency designated by the Patent Administration Department of the State Council to handle it. Article 19 stipulates that "foreigners, foreign enterprises or other foreign organizations that have no habitual residence or business office in China shall entrust a patent agency designated by the patent administration department of the State Council to apply for patents and handle other patent affairs in China."
