Is patent transfer a kind of industrial design service?

Patent transfer does not belong to the category of industrial design services. Patent right refers to invention patent, utility model patent and design patent, which is a kind of legal protection for the technological achievements of invention or design. The patentee may enjoy the exclusive right to use, transfer and license the technology corresponding to the patent. Patent transfer refers to a commercial behavior that the patent applicant or patentee transfers all or part of the patent right to others in order to obtain the patent transfer fee.

Industrial design service refers to providing enterprises with a series of design services such as overall design, structural design, appearance design, packaging design and user experience design of industrial products through a series of activities such as investigation, prototype design and industrial production according to the law of human industrial product design development. Industrial design service is a comprehensive service, involving many fields, including design, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and other links.

Therefore, although both patent transfer and industrial design services are related to technology and products, they are two different types of business activities with different nature and service contents.
