Where a patent application is filed for a completed invention-creation, it shall be filed in accordance with the contract between the partners. Where there is no contract or agreement, the right to apply for a patent for the product created by the cooperator shall be shared by all the cooperators. If one or more parties transfer their patent application rights, the other partners shall enjoy the preemptive right under the same conditions. If one or more parties to the invention-creation after cooperation give up the right to apply for a patent for their invention-creation, the other parties who have not given up the right to apply for a patent may exercise the right to apply for a patent.
However, after one or more parties who have not given up the right to apply for a patent file a patent application, the invention and designer of the one or more parties who have given up the patent application may exploit their patents free of charge. To sum up, the ownership of the patent application for cooperative invention-creation is shared by all parties. If one party does not agree to apply for a patent, the other party or parties shall not apply for a patent.
