Since the promulgation of the Criminal Law in 1997, the number ofconvictions and sentences for this crime has been completely disproportionateto the number of rapidly developing patent applications. The revision of thePatent Law in 2008 changed the concept of “counterfeiting others’ patents” to“counterfeiting patents”, resulting in a change in the concept of “precursor tothe Criminal Law”, resulting in “jurisdictional conflicts”, which in turn madethe judicial application of the crime of counterfeiting patents more ambiguous,which will seriously hinder the development of China’s patent system and thusaffect the economic development of the entire society. Based on the “security ofthe patent marking system”, this paper explains the “counterfeiting” behavior inthe crime of patent counterfeiting, and puts forward meaningful suggestions forthe application of this crime in practice.
