(1) If the applicant fills in "XX school", the patent application right belongs to XX school.
(2) Sometimes a project is jointly developed by schools and enterprises. According to the contract, the applicant can fill in "XX school" and "XX enterprise". The patent application right belongs to XX school and XX enterprise.
In addition, after a patent application is granted a patent right, it is changed from "patent application right" to "patent right".
note:
It should be noted that in daily life, people usually confuse the two concepts of "patent" and "patent application". For example, some people claim that they have patents, and their patent applications have not been authorized.
In fact, a patent application can only be called a patent application before it is authorized. If it is finally authorized, it can be called a patent and enjoy the exclusive right to use the technical scope it requests to protect. If there is no authorization in the end, it will never be a patent.
That is to say, although he submitted a patent application, he did not obtain the exclusive right to use the technical scope he requested to protect. Obviously, the gap between the two results represented by these two concepts is huge.
