What is patent protection?

Legal analysis: patent protection means that after the patent right is granted, the invention shall not be commercially manufactured, used, promised to be sold, sold or imported without the consent of the patentee. After the patent right is infringed, the patentee protects the patent right through negotiation, requesting the patent administration department to intervene or litigation.

Legal basis: Article 34 of the Patent Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). After receiving an application for a patent for invention, the administrative department for patent in the State Council, after preliminary examination, finds that it conforms to the provisions of this Law, and shall publish it within 18 months from the date of application. The patent administration department of the State Council may publish its application at an early date upon the request of the applicant.
