Can the patentee be a company or an individual?

Legal subjectivity:

Patentee is the collective name for the owner and holder of the patent right. That is, when a patent application is approved, the patent applicant is granted the patent right. The patentee can be either an organization or an individual. The patentee believes as follows: 1. The patentee’s obligation is mainly to pay annual patent fees. Article 43 of the Patent Law stipulates that the patentee shall pay annual fees starting from the year when the patent right is granted. Failure to pay the annual fee as required may result in the termination of the patent right. 2. The patentee shall not abuse the patent right, may not use the patent right to monopolize, and shall not use the patent right to engage in unfair competition. 3. The patentee shall implement the patent in a timely manner. If the patentee does not implement the patent and does not allow others to implement the patent, he may apply for a compulsory license. Legal objectivity:

Article 8 of the "Patent Law" Inventions and creations completed by cooperation between two or more units or individuals, inventions and creations completed by one unit or individual accepting the entrustment of other units or individuals; unless otherwise agreed Otherwise, the right to apply for a patent belongs to the unit or individual who completes or co-completes it; after the application is approved, the unit or individual who applied is the patentee.
