By extending legislative power to local governments, China's central government has enabled them to establish their own patent laws, thereby creating a semi-decentralized patent system. The coexistence of national and local patent laws represents the fruits of a cooperative endeavor between the central government and local governments in structuring the patent system, where the central government takes the leading role. Local patent laws, while complementary, do not alter the requirements that the central government set forth. Rather, they modulate within the boundaries of the national law, guided by [*291] the central government's directives, and adapted to the specific local circumstances.
