Patent is a right, granted by State Intellectual Property Office of People's Republic of China, to exclude others from making, using, selling or importing an invention throughout People's Republic of China without the inventor's consent. The purpose is to protect patent rights for inventions-creations, to encourage invention-creation, to foster the spreading and application of inventions-creations, and to promote the development and innovation of science and technology. Right now, there are three types of patents issued by the State Intellectual Property Office of People's Republic of China - Invention, Utility and Design.

Invention: means any new technical solution relating to a product, a process or improvement thereof.

Utility Model: means any new technical solution relating to the shape, the structure, or their combination, of a product, which is fit for practical use.

Design: means any new design of the shape, the pattern or their combination, or the combination of the color with shape or pattern, of a product, which creates an aesthetic feeling and is fit for industrial application.

Pursuant to Article 19 of the Chinese Patent Law, any foreigner, foreign enterprise or other foreign organization having no habitual residence or business office in China applies for a patent, or has other patent matters to attend to, in China, it or he shall appoint a patent agency designated by the Patent Administration Department Under the State Council to act as his or its agent.
