Article 68 of the Patent Law stipulates that in addition to bearing civil liability according to law, the patent administration department shall order it to make corrections and make a public announcement, confiscate its illegal income, and may impose a fine of less than three times its illegal income. If there is no illegal income, a fine of not more than 50,000 yuan may be imposed. If a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.
Patents are generally documents issued by government agencies or regional organizations representing several countries according to their applications. This kind of document records the contents of the invention and creation, and in a certain period of time, it has produced such a legal state that the patented invention and creation can only be implemented by others with the permission of the patentee. In China, there are three kinds of patents: inventions, utility models and designs.
