What procedures are required for a company to transfer a patent?

Patent right is also a kind of property right. According to Article 10 of the Patent Law, “both the right to apply for a patent and the right to patent may be transferred.” Procedures required for the transfer of patent application rights or patent rights:

1. If an individual or unit (including units owned by the whole people and collective owners) in my country transfers a patent application right or patent right to a foreign country, it must go through the national patent Approval by the regulatory agency;

2. The transferor of the patent application right or the patent right must sign a written "transfer contract" with the transferee*** that complies with the Patent Law and relevant laws;

3. You must go to the patent management department to apply for certification, registration and other formalities.

4. The "Transfer Contract" and "Declaration of Change of Bibliographic Items" should be submitted to the national patent administration agency, and the fees should be paid at the same time. The transfer of the patent application right or patent right will not officially take effect until the national patent administration agency announces it in the Patent Gazette.

When transferring patent rights, both parties need to negotiate and determine the relevant circumstances, especially the use of the patent rights. They also need to determine the time when the patent rights can be authorized, and both parties should abide by them later. If relevant terms are violated, the relevant breach of contract responsibilities will also need to be investigated.
