On October 17, 2020, the amended Patent Law was adopted by China’s National People’s Congress. The new Patent Law, which comes to force on 1 June 2020, brings substantial changes to China’s patent system. While some changes, such as the introduction of the patent linkage system, are mainly important for the SMEs engaged in the pharmaceutical industry, others, such as the open license system or acceptance of partial designs, are of interest to all enterprises.
