Description

Patents and patent applications are assignable by the owner or in the owner's name by anyone acting under legal authority. In the case of patent applications, where the conveyance precedes the granting of the patent, the patent may be issued to the assignee if the patent assignment has first been entered of record in the Patent and Trademark Office. The assignment of patent rights is a contract and is, accordingly, construed so as to carry out the intentions of the parties to the assignment.
