What is the process of patentee change?

The process of changing the patentee is as follows: The normal patent transfer is concluded by both parties in writing, registered by both parties with the patent administration department of the State Council, and announced by the patent administration department of the State Council. Where the patentee changes due to the dispute over the ownership of the patent right, the right transfer agreement signed or sealed by all parties shall be submitted to the patent administrative department of the State Council for negotiation and settlement, and the legally effective judgment of the people's court shall be submitted for settlement through litigation.

According to Article 10 of the Patent Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the patent application right and patent right can be transferred. Where a unit or individual in China transfers the right to apply for a patent or the patent right to a foreigner, foreign enterprise or other foreign organization, it shall go through the formalities in accordance with the provisions of relevant laws and administrative regulations. Where the right to apply for a patent or the patent right is transferred, the parties concerned shall conclude a written contract and register it with the patent administration department of the State Council, which shall make an announcement. The transfer of the right to apply for a patent or the patent right shall take effect from the date of registration.
