China's newly revised Patent Law has officially taken effect, introducing significant changes in areas such as design patents, infringement compensation, and international priority rights. Experts from the Shenzhen Intellectual Property Research Association advise enterprises to closely monitor these updates and adjust their patent strategies accordingly. This includes planning for design patent application timelines and post-authorization maintenance costs.
Additionally, the new law increases penalties for intentional infringement and strengthens evidence disclosure and legal liabilities. As a result, both the cost of protecting rights and the risks of infringement will rise. Enterprises must prioritize comprehensive intellectual property compliance management to maintain steady progress in the competitive market.
