How do inventors change in patent applications?

Paragraph 2 of Article 119 of the Patent Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that those who request to change the name of the inventor, the name, nationality and address of the patent applicant and patentee, the name and address of the patent agency, and the name of the agent shall go through the procedures for changing the specification with the patent administration department of the State Council, and attach the supporting materials explaining the reasons for the change.

The changes made by inventors are usually written by mistake, less or more at the time of application, and can be modified, added or reduced later, but any changes need to be signed by all inventors at the original application stage. If the name is wrong, you need to provide a copy of your ID card. The change of the applicant is equivalent to the transfer of rights and the change of the patent application or patent owner.

Patent applicants can even change after authorization, including adding applicants. However, the application for change shall be signed by all the original applicants and inventors, and the 200 yuan change fee shall be paid.
