Who belongs to the patent applied for in the name of the company?

Legal analysis: according to the provisions of China's patent law, an invention created by an individual who performs a unit task or uses the unit's material and technical conditions is a service invention-creation, and the unit is the patentee after applying for a patent; If an individual completes a non-service invention-creation, even if an application is filed in the name of the employer, the inventor is also the patentee of the patent.

Legal basis: Article 6 of the Patent Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) refers to inventions and creations made by performing the tasks of the entity or mainly using the material and technical conditions of the entity. The right to apply for a patent for a service invention-creation belongs to the unit. After the application is approved, the unit becomes the patentee. Units may dispose of the patent application right and patent right of their service inventions and creations according to law, and promote the implementation and application of related inventions and creations. The right to apply for a patent for a non-service invention-creation belongs to the inventor or designer; After the application is approved, the inventor or designer shall be the patentee. Where an invention-creation completed by making use of the material and technical conditions of the entity has a contract with the inventor or designer to stipulate the right to apply for a patent and the ownership of the patent, such agreement shall prevail.
