What's a patent application assignment?

When a company buys patent applications, it should ensure the party selling them owns them. A patent application assignment transfers patent ownership and rights while still pending. This agreement helps the buyer and seller by providing a record of ownership and transfer.

Here's the information you'll need to have handy to complete your patent application assignment:

  • Who the assignor is: Have their name and contact information ready
  • Who the assignee is: Have their information available
  • Invention info: Know the inventor's name and the invention's application number and date
