Introduction:

In April, 2015, Draft Amendment of Patent Law (draft), presided over by State Intellectual Property Office, was formally announced, asking for opinions from the society. The motivation of modification is closely related to international situation, which is not only to attract technology investment, but also to tolerate the stress from intellectual property-well-developed countries like U.S. The reason why frequency of modification of Patent Law is raised is that our country needs to finish the transition to an “innovation driven development” country as soon as possible. The 4th modification of Patent Law aims to solve a series of actual problems, including the orientation of protected object, cost in safeguarding the rights and interests, compensation volume, administrative disposal, law enforcement, and burden of proof. To promote the communication over the modification, we invited Yang Hongju, the director of State Intellectual Property Office, to give some opinions, hoping to make some contribution to the progress of patent system of our country.
