- Patent eligibility of software inventions
- Article 25 of the Patent Law provides for six types of subject matters for which no patent right should be granted. No matter how practical, novel or inventive they are, specific results covered by such subject matters are excluded from patent protection. Nevertheless, the determination of ineligible subject matters does not require evidence to aid comparison as in the case of commenting on novelty or inventiveness, which can be concluded directly and merely by deductive reasoning.

- Is Patent Marking the Patent Owner’s Right or Statutory Duty?
- Patent marking statutes in the U.S. and China take completely different stances. In the U.S., patent marking requires an affirmative act of the patentee to mark her products, and failure to comply with patent marking may drastically limit the past damages afforded to the patentee before a litigation on patent infringement had begun. In contrast, patent marking in China only gives the patentee the right, rather than the obligation to mark, whereas the patentee may be entitled to a fully recovery of past damages regardless of whether or not she has done patent marking.
