Can the patent be changed to the author?

Legal analysis: After the patent application or even after authorization, the patent applicant can be changed, including adding applicants, but the application for change should be submitted, signed by all the original applicants and inventors, and the 200 yuan change fee should be paid. If the drawings are still being revised, it means that the patent has not been applied. At this time, the patent applicant is completely decided by the applicant, and everything can be changed before the application.

Legal basis: Article 10 of the Patent Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the patent application right and patent right can be transferred.

Where a unit or individual in China transfers the right to apply for a patent or the patent right to a foreigner, foreign enterprise or other foreign organization, it shall go through the formalities in accordance with the provisions of relevant laws and administrative regulations.

Where the right to apply for a patent or the patent right is transferred, the parties concerned shall conclude a written contract and register it with the patent administration department of the State Council, which shall make an announcement. The transfer of the right to apply for a patent or the patent right shall take effect from the date of registration.
