What should I do if the patent application fails the preliminary examination?

There is no need to be nervous when encountering this problem. If the patent administrative department in the State Council finds that the application documents are not in conformity with the provisions of the Patent Law during the preliminary examination, it will give the applicant the opportunity to make corrections. Notify the applicant to make corrections within the specified time limit. If the applicant fails to make corrections without justifiable reasons, his application shall be deemed to have been withdrawn. If it still does not meet the requirements after correction, the administrative department for patent in the State Council shall reject it. If the applicant refuses to accept it, he may request the Patent Reexamination Board for reexamination.
