No matter what kind of right transfer, the transferor and the transferee need to reach an agreement before the subsequent transfer procedures can be carried out (transfer due to rights disputes is not involved here).
After the preliminary work is completed, the handover formalities can be started:
1. It is necessary to fill in the Statement of Change of Description Items (which can be downloaded from the website of the Patent Office), indicating the patent number (or application number), the patentee (or applicant), the name of the invention-creation, and the information of the assignor and assignee.
2. Submission of supporting documents: If the patentee requests changes due to the transfer or gift of rights, it shall submit the transfer or gift contract. The contract is concluded by the unit, which shall be stamped with the official seal of the unit or the special seal for the contract. When concluding a contract, a citizen shall sign or seal it. If there is more than one patentee, all the certification materials that the patentee agrees to transfer or donate shall be submitted.
3. Mail the above two documents, or hand them over to the Patent Office or the local agency of the Patent Office.
4. Pay the recording project change fee 200 yuan within one month from the date of request.
The transfer procedure is relatively simple, you can handle it yourself directly or entrust an agent.
Generally, the Patent Office will issue a compliance notice within 2 to 6 months (informing the patentee or the applicant to change from the assignor to the assignee), and both parties can also check the change result through the website of the Patent Office, indicating that the transfer is successful. If both parties want to prove through documents, they can request the patent office to handle a copy of the patent register, which will record the legal status of the patent in detail.
