Xiaoling Duan On 17 October 2020 China’s top legislature, the National People’s Congress, passed the fourth round of amendments to the Patent Law, which will come into effect on 1 June 2021. It has been eight years since the first draft was released to solicit public opinions. This latest set of changes updates China’s patent regime in the following ways. Civil litigation Article 71 introduces a punitive damages regime in the context of wilful infringement, which allows a court to grant at its discretion up to five times the actual losses suffered by the patentee as a result of the infringement, the proceeds gained by the infringer from the infringement or multiples of the patent royalties, in extreme circumstances. Statutory damages have also increased to between Rmb30,000 and Rmb5 million.
