Can patent use right and ownership be separated?
Patent use right and ownership can be separated. By signing a patent licensing contract, the right to use and ownership of the licensed patent can be separated. Patent right is intellectual property, and ownership refers to property. Patent right means that the patentee enjoys the exclusive right to use, benefit and dispose of his invention and creation within the scope prescribed by law, and excludes the interference of third parties. Ownership refers to the right of the owner to possess, use and benefit his own property according to law.
