(2) Separation due to inheritance (special proof is required).
(3) Because the separation of service inventions is a legal separation stipulated by law, the inventor ≠ applicant. Service invention is an invention made by a natural person relying on the inherent conditions of the unit. At this time, the applicant should be the unit to which the natural person belongs.
(4) Separation due to commissioned invention. According to Article 8 of the Patent Law, the entrusting party entrusts the entrusted party with the invention and creation. Where the ownership of rights is clearly defined in the contract, the inventor is the entrusting party and the applicant is the entrusting party. If there is no clear ownership of rights in the contract, according to the law, both the inventor and the applicant should be trustees.
