patent law

Article 62 The limitation of action for patent infringement is two years, counting from the date when the patentee or interested party knows or should know about the infringement.

If the patentee fails to pay the appropriate royalty before the patent right is granted after the publication of the application for a patent for invention, the limitation period for requesting the royalty is two years, counting from the date when the patentee knows or should know that others are using his invention. However, if the patentee knows or should know before the patent right is granted, it shall be counted from the date when the patent right is granted.

Article 63 Any of the following circumstances shall not be regarded as infringement of the patent right:

(1) After the patented product manufactured or imported by the patentee or manufactured or imported with the permission of the patentee or the product directly obtained according to the patented method is sold, the patentee uses, promises to sell or sells the product;

(2) Having manufactured the same product, used the same method or made necessary preparations for its manufacture and use before the patent application date, and continuing to manufacture and use it only within the original scope;

(3) Foreign means of transport temporarily passing through China's territorial waters and airspace use the relevant patents in their devices and equipment for their own needs in accordance with the agreements signed between their countries and China or international treaties to which they are both parties, or on the principle of reciprocity;

(four) the use of relevant patents for scientific research and experiments.

If the use or sale of a patented product that is not known to be manufactured or sold without the permission of the patentee or a product directly obtained by a patented method is used for production and business purposes, it shall not be liable for compensation if it can prove the legal source of the product.

If the other party uses the invention knowing that you have filed an application, it is an infringement, and it is required to pay the royalties according to the restrictions of Article 62; If the other party relies on its own ability to use a method consistent with the invention to manufacture the product, it belongs to the first user and does not constitute infringement!
