Can the patent right be transferred?

Can the patent right be transferred? Yes, the patent transfer in China usually takes the following three forms: 1, the whole patent transfer, the implementation of exclusive license, the so-called transfer of patent ownership, for example, the patentee (inventor) transfers the whole patent to an enterprise, and after both parties sign the transfer contract, the inventor (patentee) only has the right to invent. 2. The exclusive license for patent exploitation means that the enterprise buys out the patent, and only the patentee and domestic enterprises can use the technology, and the patent cannot be transferred to a third party again. 3. The general license for patent exploitation means that the patentee authorizes an enterprise or individual to produce the patent, or may authorize multiple enterprises or individuals to produce the patent.
