How to report intellectual property infringement

The intellectual property report shall be reported by the Patent Office. Also prepare relevant evidence materials.

Two. Conditions for accepting complaints of intellectual property infringement

Proof of rights:

A The complainant is the intellectual property owner himself. Please provide patent certificate, trademark registration certificate, copyright certificate, etc.

B. If the complainant is not the intellectual property owner, please provide the patent certificate, trademark registration certificate, copyright certificate, and proof that the intellectual property owner authorized the complainant to make a complaint (which must be signed/sealed by the intellectual property owner).
