What are the ways for individuals to transfer patent rights? How to calculate the patent transfer fee? Individuals can transfer their rights to others for patent transfer, and the specific rights and expenses of the transfer need to be agreed by both parties. So what are the ways for individuals to transfer patent rights? What are the ways for individuals to transfer patent rights? 1. Participate in various technical exhibitions, exhibitions, fairs, fairs and other technical trading activities, and publish and popularize technologies in various technical trading activities. All kinds of technology trading activities are good ways to promote their patented products. However, you should also choose to participate in these activities, and try to choose exhibitions involving projects, technologies and funds. 2. Where the patentee transfers the patent by himself, he shall publicize the patent through the media and negotiate with investors by himself to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. If you want to find companies willing to invest in patent projects and take risks, media publicity is one of the essential channels. To achieve good publicity effect, it is particularly important to choose the right media. Print media depends on its readership and circulation, and it is best to choose economic information media distributed nationwide. General enterprises will always pay attention to this kind of media, and the publishing area should not be too small, preferably on a banner, which is easy to attract others' attention. Secondly, we should choose websites with high popularity and high click-through rate to make online media with low production cost, high speed, flexible change, wide spread and no time and space restrictions. In addition, interviewing investors through friends' introduction is also the most effective method of patent self-transfer, with a high success rate. 3. Entrust an intermediary agency through an intermediary company. First, choose a formal and qualified intermediary company. You can check it on the website of the patent office. There is a special patent agency information page, which also contains the penalties for violations by regular patent agencies. In patent transfer, if an agency is entrusted, the agency shall handle the transfer registration formalities, and the applicant (assignor) only needs to provide the transfer contract. It is worth noting that when negotiating with the transferee, you must bring a lawyer who understands intellectual property rights and other related laws, and provide legal services for patent transfer throughout the process to protect the legitimate rights and interests in the transfer process. How to calculate the patent transfer fee? After obtaining the patent right, the patentee should pay attention to the following matters: the patentee should pay the annual fee on time every year. Failure to pay the annual fee as required will lead to the early termination of the patent right. There are generally three ways to settle the patent transfer fee: one-time settlement, royalty, fixed and royalty combination. One-time settlement means that after signing the transfer contract, the licensee (transferee) pays the transfer fee to the licensor (patentee) at the price stipulated in the contract. There are two components: fixed commission and sliding commission. Fixed commission refers to artificially fixing the production quantity or net sales of contract products at a certain number (regardless of the actual production quantity or net sales), and paying commission according to this number every year within the commission limit; The floating commission is based on the actual product quantity produced each year or the actual net sales commission. The fixed part of the combination of fixed and commission is called the down payment, also called the entry fee, which is paid immediately after the contract takes effect; The royalty part shall be paid within the period agreed in the contract after the project is put into production, and the method is the same as royalty.
