Step 2: The patent assignor and the patent assignee sign a patent assignment contract. This is a key step in the process of patent transfer. After the patent transferor and the transferee reach an agreement, the subsequent transfer work can be carried out effectively. In the transfer contract, there should be clear words about the interests of both parties.
Step 3: Both parties should prepare the relevant documents required for patent transfer, and these documents should be filled out in strict accordance with the prescribed forms, so as to shorten the time for China National Intellectual Property Administration to review documents and speed up the review.
Step 4: Entrust a patent agency to submit relevant documents to the Patent Office. This is an important link in the process of patent transfer, because patent transfer has a legal basis only after it has been examined and approved by the Patent Office.
Step 5: The last step of the patent transfer process is to wait for the result of the patent transfer. The patent office will inform the examination result when it examines it. If it passes the examination, the Patent Office will generally issue a notice of qualified patent transfer within 2 to 6 months, and the relevant change results can be found in China National Intellectual Property Administration Patent Library.
