The relationship between the applicant (patent) and the inventor (designer)

Patent inventor: As the name implies, it is the person who invented this kind of thing. Patent applicant: It can be the person who invented this kind of thing, his friend or the company. If the main inventor wishes, he can become the patentee. It can be the inventor himself, or it can be that the inventor negotiates with others or companies and transfers the invented thing to him, that is, the ownership of such a thing is given to others, so others are the patentee.

Simply put, the inventor is the person who made the invention; The applicant is the person applying for a patent, and the applicant and the inventor may or may not be the same person. For example, if you apply for a patent for an invention made to complete the company's task, the company should be a legal person applicant, if the patent licensing company is the patentee. Patent authorization must be granted to the applicant.

Applicant: It is the patentee, a natural person or a company. If more applicants are added, the application fee will increase. The inventor can only be a natural person, and no one will increase the cost.
