United States Patents Change of Ownership

We help you record the change of ownership at the USPTO.

There are generally two scenarios where you need to record a change of ownership at the USPTO:

Transfer ownership to another entity or party through an “assignment”.

Like any other property, patents and patent applications can be transferred. We can help you record the transfer at the USPTO, which requires filing a request and the actual assignment.

Retain ownership but change their name.

This happens, for example, when your company name changes. We can help you record the name change at USPTO, which requires filing a request and the proof of name change.
