What is the difference between the transfer of patent right and the transfer of patent application right?

Patent transfer refers to a contract in which the patentee, as the transferor, transfers the ownership or holding right of his invention-creation patent to the transferee, and the transferee pays the agreed price. The party who obtains the patent right through the patent right transfer contract becomes a new legal patentee, and may also conclude a patent transfer contract and a patent licensing contract with others.

The transfer of patent application right refers to the act that the patent applicant transfers the patent that China National Intellectual Property Administration has obtained but has not been authorized according to law to others. It should be noted that after the transfer of the patent application right, the transferor only transfers the transferee's right to continue to apply for the patent, and it cannot fundamentally guarantee that the transferee will become the patentee created by Fang Faming in the future.

There are both similarities and essential differences between them:

1. The object of the patent right transfer contract is the patent right, and the object of the patent application right transfer contract is the patent application right;

2. The transfer of patent right occurs after the patent authorization, and the transferor is the patentee, while the transfer of patent application right occurs before the patent authorization, and the transferor is the patent applicant.
