If you have inventions, you can apply for a patent to protect your achievements. As the protection of intellectual property rights increases, many inventions want to apply for patents. Can the patent application be withdrawn? Can a patent application be withdrawn? Before the patent right is granted, the applicant may voluntarily request to withdraw its patent application at any time. If an applicant withdraws a patent application, he or she shall use the patent application withdrawal declaration form uniformly produced by the Patent Office. No conditions may be attached to the withdrawal of a patent application. If a patent application is requested to be withdrawn, regardless of whether the applicant has entrusted a patent agency, proof of the applicant's signature and seal agreeing to withdraw the application must be provided. If there are more than two applicants for a patent application and request to withdraw their patent application, they shall submit proof of the signature or seal of all applicants agreeing to withdraw the patent application. After the withdrawal of the patent application declares that the application has passed the examination, a notification of passing the procedures will be issued and the applicant will be notified. The applicant shall not request the revocation of the declaration without justifiable reasons; unless the non-real owner of the application right maliciously requests the withdrawal of the patent application, the real owner of the application right (must provide valid legal documents to prove it) may request the revocation of the declaration. The statement of withdrawal of the patent application is made after the patent application enters the gazette editor. The application documents are published or announced as usual, but the examination process is terminated. For published patent applications, the application number of the withdrawn patent application shall be announced in the Patent Gazette.
