Form Overview
The Patent Assignment Agreement documents the conveyance of patent rights from one party to another party. There is no doctrine under patent law granting employers ownership of employee patents. Therefore, the assignment is critical to employers seeking to secure applicable patent rights from inventor-employees. The assignment documents the full conveyance of all patent rights from the inventor to the company. The assignment covers a specific patent application and any issuing patents. The assignment also authorizes the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to issue any patents to the assignee. You can find answers to your questions using our extensive library of
