Who owns the late design patents purchased from industrial design companies and how to become their own patents?

First of all, if the ownership of the patent right is stipulated in the design contract, then whoever agrees will belong to it. For example, if the contract is owned by the design company (the trustee), then of course your company has no patent right. For example, if the agreement belongs to your company (that is, the entrusting party), then the industrial design company certainly has no patent right.

Secondly, if there is no agreement in the design contract, the right to apply for a patent should belong to the person who actually made the design, that is, to the design company. If your employees have also made substantial contributions, then both companies should have them.

Legal basis:

Article 8 of the Patent Law: An invention-creation completed by two or more entities or individuals in cooperation shall be accepted by one entity or individual.

Unless otherwise agreed, the right to apply for a patent belongs to the invention-creation entrusted by other units or individuals.

Units or individuals jointly completed or * * * completed; After the application is approved, the entity or individual applying for it is a patent.

The right person.
