Can the applicant withdraw the patent application?

Farmer Zhang submitted a patent application for invention of "detergent" to China Patent Office on March, 2007 1997. The technical scheme recorded in the specification of the patent application is a very incomplete technical scheme, which needs a lot of experiments and a long time to perfect. Three months later, Zhang received a notice of the first-instance qualification examination from the China Patent Office, informing him that the procedure for continuing the patent application is: from the date of filing1announced at the end of August. After another month, Zhang realized that the patent application lacked patentability and it was difficult to obtain a patent right through patent consultation, so he submitted a statement to the China Patent Office to withdraw the patent application.

Q: Has Zhang Can withdrawn its patent application?

A: According to the provisions of China's Patent Law, Zhang Moumou withdrew its patent application and terminated the continuation procedure, which made it impossible for the contents of the patent application to be made public, and also made it impossible for others to use their own ideas and labor achievements to improve the technical scheme of the patent application. When I improve the technical scheme, I can continue the experiment and reapply for a patent.

According to the provisions of the Patent Law, the Chinese Patent Office finally approved a statement to withdraw the patent application and terminated the continuation procedure of the patent application.
