What does "patent transfer" mean?

In fact, patent transfer means that the owner of the patent transfers the ownership of the patent to others. If the patent transfer is successful, the transferor will no longer have the right to use the patent, and the transferee will be free to control the patent and enjoy all the corresponding property rights. It is worth noting that although the transfer of the patent right can be freely carried out in principle, if the transferor belongs to a unit owned by the whole people or the transferee belongs to a foreigner, then the transfer of the patent right must be approved by the relevant departments of the State Council.

After understanding the concept of patent transfer, let's analyze the significance of patent transfer together.

1. For the transferor, patent transfer can get more development opportunities. The transferor can persuade the other party to cooperate with himself by negotiating with the other party, win the opportunity of cooperation, obtain the corresponding rights and interests at the same time, and give full play to the value of the patent to a greater extent. At the same time, through patent transfer, the reputation of the transferor can be greatly improved, which has a positive impact on external influence and can attract more people to invest in themselves.

2. For the transferee, the patent transfer can make him get a valuable scheme. If the transferee successfully obtains the ownership of the patent, the technology contained in it can save him a lot of time, provide reliable technical experience for subsequent development, effectively shorten the research and development time and save a sum of time wealth. At the same time, when an enterprise has new patented technology, it means that its own strength has been improved, and it has the opportunity to become stronger with the patentee, develop more novel products, and have more advantages in the competition with competitors.
