[Take-Away] China's regulations on patent marking mainly stipulate how to mark correctly, not to mislead the public, not to make false publicity, etc. There is NO compulsory provision stating that the patentee must mark the patented product either physically or virtually. Different from US, in China, the patent marking is not a requirement for collecting damages for patent infringement.
