Can patent rights be counted as intangible assets of a company?
At present, many small and medium-sized enterprises obtain financing through patented technology, thus obtaining the funds needed for the company's development. Can patent rights be counted as intangible assets of a company? In fact, the patent right is not an asset, it is a right, but to a certain extent, if there is no patent right, the concept of intangible assets is basically nowhere to be displayed. From this perspective, patent right is the executor of intangible assets, that is to say, knowledge patent, an intangible asset, needs to play a powerful role under the aura of law. Can patent rights be counted as intangible assets of a company? But some people may ask, what if the patented technology is not protected by law? We can put forward the view that if there is no legal constraint in the world, patented technology is essentially its own intangible intellectual property, just as copyright is protected by preconditions and laws from the beginning; However, we still need to rely on legal protection. If there is no legal constraint, the world will become a dictatorship. Patents have no intangible assets. A patent right refers to an invention-creation. An application for a patent is filed with the State Patent Office, and after passing the examination according to law, the patent applicant is granted the exclusive right to enjoy the invention-creation within a specified time. According to China's patent law, there are three kinds of inventions, namely, inventions, utility models and designs. Therefore, laws that stipulate civilization can be implemented in today's era. Give the patentee the right of patent transfer and patent license, and the intangible asset of patent right will be reflected. Patent right and patented technology are inseparable. Patented technology is the foundation of intangible assets, and patent right can only be said to be the executor of patented technology, and the two need to be distinguished.
