shall　be　investigated according to law for administrative liability or
criminal liability.
　@@　 Article　 23.　A technology contract may be modified or rescinded
through consultation and agreement between the parties.

to notify the other party of the rescission of the contract:
　(1) the other party has breached the contract;
　(2) an event of force majeure has occurred; or
　(3)　 the　technology　which is the object of a technology development
contract has been made public by others.
　@@　Article　25.　Modification　or rescission of a technology contract

their losses.

CHAPTER III TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT CONTRACTS
　@@　 Article　　27.　　Technology　 development　 contracts　refer　to
contracts　concluded　 between　parties　for　the　purpose of conducting
research　in　and　development　 of　 new　technologies,　new　products,
new　processes　and new materials as well as their systems.
　Technology　 development　 contracts　 include　commission development
contracts and cooperative development contracts.
　@@　Article　28.　Commission　development contracts refer to contracts
under　which　 one　 party　commissions　the　other　party　to undertake
research and development.
The main obligations of the commissioning party shall be:
　(1)　 to　pay　funds　and　remuneration　for　research and development
according

to stipulations of the contract;
　(2)　 to　 provide　 technical　 materials　 and　original data and to
accomplish　coordinated　undertakings　according　to stipulations of the
contract; and
　(3)　to　accept　the　result　of research and development according to
schedule.
　The　 main　 obligations　 of　 the　 party　 undertaking research and
development shall be:
(1) to work out and implement research and development plans;
(2) to use research and development funds in a rational way; and
　(3)　 to　 complete　research　and　development　work　and deliver the
results　according　　to　　schedule,　 to　provide　relevant　technical
materials　 and　necessary　 technical　 guidance,　 and　 to　help　the
commissioning party master the results of research and development.
　@@　 Article　 29.　 If　 the　 commissioning　 party　 breaches　 the
contract　and　thereby　 causes　 a　 standstill,　delay　or　failure in
research　and　development work, it shall pay breach of contract damages
or compensate for the losses.
　If　 the　party　undertaking　research　and　development　breaches the
contract　and　thereby　 causes　 a　standstill or delay in research and
development　work,　it　shall　 pay　 breach　 of　contract　damages　or
compensate　for　the　losses　besides　adopting　 remedial　measures and
continuing　 the　 performance　 of　the　contract;　if　 research　 and

or　 part　of　the　research　and　development　funds　and　remuneration
received,　and　pay　breach　of　contract　damages or compensate for the
losses.
　@@　 Article　　30.　 Cooperative　 development　 contracts　refer　to
contracts　concluded　 between　 parties　for　the　purpose　of　jointly
carrying out research and development.
　 The　　main　　obligations　 of　 each　 party　 to　 a　 cooperative
research　and development contract shall be:
　(1)　 to　 make　 investment　 according　to　the　stipulations of the
contract, including contribution of technology as investment;

　@@　 Article　 32.　 The　 principles　 governing　the　ownership　and
sharing　 of　 technological　 achievements　 obtained　 in　 performing
technology development contracts shall be:
　 (1)　　With　 respect　 to　 inventions　 and　 creations　 made　 in
execution　of a commission　for　development,　the　right to apply for a
patent　shall,unless　otherwise　provided　in　the　contract,　belong to
the　party　that　undertakes research　and　development.　

If　the　party
that　 undertakes　research　and development　is　granted a patent right
for　the　inventions　or　creations, the commissioning party may exploit
that patent without paying a fee.
　If　 the　 party　that undertakes research and development assigns the
right　to　apply　 for　a　patent　for　its inventions or creations, the
commissioning party may have priority to acquire such right.
　(2)　 With　 respect　 to　 inventions　 or　 creations　made　through
cooperative　development,　the　right　to　apply　for　a　patent　shall,
unless　otherwise　provided　for　in　the　contract, be jointly owned by

party　 assigns　its　part　of the jointly　owned　right　to apply for a
patent,　the　other　party　or parties may have priority to acquire such
right.
　If　 one　 party　 to　a　cooperative　development　contract　declares
that　it　renounces　 its　 part　 of　 the　joint　right to apply for a
patent,　the　other　party　 may apply for it alone or the other parties
may　apply for it jointly. If　a　patent　for　the invention or creation

apply for a patent, the other party or parties may not apply for it.

through　commission　 development　 or　 cooperative　 development,　the
right　derived　to　transfer　 them,　 and　the　methods of distributing
benefits　from　them　shall　be　stipulated　 by　 the　 parties　in the
contract.　In　the　absence　of　contractual　stipulations,　each　party
shall　 have　 the　right　to use and transfer the achievements,　except
that　　the　　party　undertaking　research　and　development　under　 a
commission　 development　 contract　 may　not　transfer　the results of
research　 and　 development　 to　a　third party before delivering them
to the commissioning party.
　@@　 Article　 33.　The　liability　for risks involved in a failure or
partial　 failure　　in　　research　　and　　development　　caused　 by
unsurmountable　technical　difficulties　 occurring　 in　 the　 process
of　 performing　a　technology development　contract shall be stipulated
