Patent mortgage in China is mainly used by Chinese entities to
obtain loans from Chinese banks (with strong encouragements from
the government). Such may not be used or even familiar with foreign
companies. I have an article on this, and interested party could
refer to this.
Comparing to the existing method, the following are the major
changes:
- Both mortgagor and mortgagee should do the registration.
(Article 3)
- Registration could be submitted electronically. (Article
6)
- After both parties are informed, and they have agreed,
registration could proceed even if invalidation proceeding has been
started against the patent (but not yet decided). (Article 12)
