Legal analysis: According to our country’s laws, income from the sale of patent ownership is property income.
Legal basis: Article 10 of the Patent Law of the People's Republic of China clearly stipulates that patent application rights and patent rights can be transferred. If a Chinese unit or individual transfers patent application rights or patent rights to foreigners, foreign enterprises or other foreign organizations, it must go through the procedures in accordance with the provisions of relevant laws and administrative regulations. When transferring patent application rights or patent rights, the parties concerned shall enter into a written contract and register it with the patent administration department of the State Council, which shall make an announcement. The transfer of patent application rights or patent rights takes effect from the date of registration.
