What is an authorized unpaid patent? With the development of economy, the number of patent technology transfer is increasing. At present, the patent transfer market is very large and the update speed is very fast. Some patents are authorized to pay, and some patents have been issued. Which one should I buy? Bian Xiao, we analyze the differences between authorized unpaid patents and issued patents. Understanding these differences will help the patentee to make a correct choice and make better use of patents. What is an authorized unpaid patent? Unpaid patent authorization means that the patent has been successfully authorized, and there is still a two-month payment period, after which a certificate will be issued. The last patent certificate issued is written on the name of the transferee, that is, the person who bought the patent. Because after the patent office agrees to grant authorization, before paying the authorization registration fee, if the transfer is completed, the patent certificate will be the name of the new patent applicant, otherwise it will be the name of the original patent applicant, which is not convenient for the buyer to use. The patent under the certificate means that the patent has been successfully authorized and paid, and the name of the original inventor is written on the patent certificate. The patent transfer under the certificate requires the transferor and the transferee to sign a contract, and it can take effect only after the registration announcement in the Patent Office. If the recorded items change, the name on the patent certificate will not change. Because China's patent system is that the patent certificate is issued only once, whether it is lost or transferred, the content of the certificate will not change. After the certificate is issued, the name on the patent certificate is still the name of the transferor, and only the patent right is transferred. The patent belongs to the transferee, but the inventor's name is still the transferor's. Why do many people like to buy patents that are authorized without paying? Because such a patent is not only your own name after the certificate, but also can be used for graduation. Moreover, if you want to resell in the future, you will only resell the patent right. The inventor is still his own, and the honor is still his own. It is more convenient for buyers to authorize unpaid patents.
