The China Patents and Trademarks journal has now made publicly available the article I wrote late last year with former USPTO Director David Kappos and former Chief Judge Randall Rader (ret.) “Faux Amis: China-US Administrative Enforcement Comparison”, in both English, and Chinese (形似神异:中美专利行政执法制度对比). Kevin Lu 吕行 of USPTO also assisted in researching the article.
The article discusses the differences between administrative enforcement of patents in the United States International Trade Commission (Section 337) and by SIPO in China and notes that the comparisons of China’s administrative patent system to the USITC system are misleading, as the two systems are different both qualitatively and quantitatively.
The opinions in the article are of course strictly the authors’ own.
