FAQ
In the event that the certificate for the utility model patent has been acquired but the technical evaluation report shows unfavorable to the patent, would the certificate still be valid?
The results of a utility model patent technical evaluation report will not affect any approved patent rights, so the approved patent rights can remain valid until being revoked. However, when exercising the rights, the patentee shall be precautious and follow Article 117 of the Patent Act.
