1. What is the patent purchase process?
First of all, there are many ways to transfer invention patents. One is to transfer the exclusive license right of the patent and keep the inventor's own invention right. The transferee obtains the exclusive license right of the patent, which is simply to use the patented technology at will. Second, patents are exclusively licensed. After the patent is transferred, both the transferee and the transferor may continue to use the patented technology. Third, there are more grantees of general license for patent exploitation. Among them, the first method has the highest cost of invention patent transfer.
How to transfer the invention patent: submit a statement on the change of the description items to China National Intellectual Property Administration-pay the handling fee-prepare the supporting documents, that is, the above-mentioned [materials required for the transfer of the invention patent]-review by the Patent Office-and issue the Notice of Qualified Invention Patent Transfer 2-6 months later.
Second, the information needed for the transfer of the invention patent

2. If the transferee is an enterprise, it only needs to submit a copy of the business license containing the organization code of the enterprise after the integration of the three certificates.
3, the assignor and the assignee signed the original invention patent transfer contract.
4. If an agency is entrusted, a power of attorney signed and sealed by the transferee shall also be provided.
5. If the obligee is not unique, proof that all obligees agree to the transfer is required.
Three, what problems should be paid attention to in the sale of invention patents?
Patents are divided into inventions, utility models and designs, and the sale of invention patents occupies the most important position in patent sales. If you want to buy and sell invention patents correctly, you must first know what field, purpose and price the invention patents belong to.
There are many fields of invention patents. When buying and selling invention patents, it is necessary to know clearly what field the invention patent belongs to, so that the transferee can know whether it is the patent he is looking for. The fields of invention patents mainly include electric power, chemistry, energy, computer and so on. However, it must be clear that when buying and selling invention patents, it is necessary not only to determine whether they belong to this field from the name, but also to analyze whether they are included in this field from the summary of the patent. For example, if you want to find an invention patent in animal husbandry, you should know that besides the related breeding methods, you should also know that the invention in feed belongs to animal husbandry.
In addition, different purposes need different patent status when buying and selling invention patents. There are two main States for buying and selling invention patents, namely, authorizing unpaid invention patents and authorizing certified invention patents. An authorized gratuitous invention means that it has been authorized. As long as the annual fee and printing fee are paid, the patent office will issue a certificate, and the inventor and patentee on the certificate can become the transferee after the change. This invention patent is mainly used to evaluate professional titles, add points for settlement and academic points. Secondly, the invention patent under authorization refers to the patent that has been authorized and issued with a certificate. This kind of invention patents are mainly used to declare projects and high-tech enterprises.
A professional trademark agency can consider the applicant in all aspects, saving a lot of trouble in the process of inquiry, registration and announcement.
