If a patentee or an interested party requests the patent administrative department of the State Council to handle a patent infringement dispute, and the relevant case is not a patent infringement dispute that has a major national impact, the patent administrative department of the State Council may designate a local administrative department for patent affairs with jurisdiction to handle it.

管理专利工作的部门作出的调解书或者人民法院作出的判决生效后，当事人应当向国务院专利行政部门办理恢复有关程序的手续。自请求中止之日起1年内，有关专利申请权或者专利权归属的纠纷未能结案，需要继续中止有关程序的，请求人应当在该期限内请求延长中止。期满未请求延长的，国务院专利行政部门自行恢复有关程序。
After the mediation document made by the administrative department for patent affairs or the judgment made by the people's court takes effect, the party shall go through the formalities with the patent administrative department of the State Council to resume the relevant procedures. If the dispute over the ownership of the patent application right or patent right cannot be concluded within one year from the date of the request for suspension, and it is necessary to continue the suspension of the relevant procedures, the requester shall request an extension of the suspension within that time limit. If no request for extension is made within the time limit, the patent administrative department of the State Council shall resume the relevant procedures on its own.
