The difference between patent authorization and license contract

A patent exploitation license contract refers to a contract in which the patentee, patent applicant or other obligee acts as the transferor, licenses the transferee to exploit the patent within the agreed scope, and the transferee pays the agreed royalties. Patent authorization is to transfer the ownership of the patent to the licensor. So, the biggest difference between the two is that.

Patent authorization:

When the technology is transferred to the licensee for application, the application fee shall be paid by the licensee. After the patent is granted, the patent right belongs to the licensee, and the proceeds from the use and transfer of the patent right belong to the licensee.

Patent licensing contract:

If the patented technology is licensed to the licensee for production and use, the patent right still belongs to the original patentee, and a certain fee is charged.
