What does patent copyright transfer mean?
A large part of what we usually call copyright is the meaning of copyright, which refers to the original intellectual achievements in literature, art, science and other fields. So what do we mean by patent copyright transfer? There are also many problems in the transfer of patent copyright. The validity of copyright registration can play an important role in dispute litigation and can be effectively used against third parties. The protection period of copyright is 50 years before and after the author's death, while the protection period of special invention patent is 20 years, and the protection period of utility model and design patent is 10 year. Copyright is generally based on authorization, because after copyright transfer, the original copyright owner no longer enjoys the right to be transferred, and the transferee becomes the new copyright owner; However, under the authorization, the copyright still belongs to the original work. If authorized, the copyright fee is charged to the licensor, and the relative amount is relatively small. Copyright transfer is a big deal, because I no longer have the power, but I have authorized it to others, and the amount is relatively high. Now that we understand that the transfer of patent copyright is two different concepts, the transfer of patent and copyright should be carried out according to their own processes, right? 1. Information required for copyright transfer: 1. Application form for contract registration and seal; 2. Transfer or monopolize the license contract and seal it; 3. Transfer of identification documents of both parties: the enterprise provides a copy of the business license and seals it; Natural person submits ID card or passport, etc. ; 4. Copy of computer software registration certificate copyright transfer process: submit an application? Registration agency enquiry? Accepted by the registration authority? Registration personnel review? Registration completed 2. Patent transfer process: Step 1: Find the way of patent transfer. Step 2: The patent assignor and the patent assignee sign a patent assignment contract. Step 3: Both parties should prepare the relevant documents required for patent transfer, and these documents should be filled out in strict accordance with the prescribed forms, so as to shorten the time for China National Intellectual Property Administration to review documents and speed up the review. Step 4: Entrust a patent agency to submit relevant documents to the Patent Office. Step 5: Wait for the result of patent transfer. The patent office will inform the examination result when it examines it. If approved, the patent office will generally issue a notice of patent transfer within 2 to 6 months.
