Notes
户口. The hukou is the household registration required for each citizen. It gives the official right to live at a place and enjoy the rights that come along such as the right to get education for children. It is, thus, especially desirable to hold a hukou of cities like Beijing or Shanghai where standards are high and prospects are good. Person not born in one of these cities can earn a hukou can through e.g. employment with the state or as in our case personal achievements.
The Draft Amendments to the Patent Law of the People's Republic of China (draft for comments) was published on August 9, 2012 by the State Intellectual Property Office.
