FAQ
Legal Assignment: An assignment (or an agreement to assign) of an existing patent is a legal assignment, where the assignee may enter his name as the patent owner. A patent which is created by deed can only be assigned by a deed. A legal assignee entitled as the proprietor of the patent acquires all rights thereof.
Assigning your patent rights to your company helps to build the asset valuation of your company, which will be important to any investors or lenders you may seek. Investors and lenders will often require you to assign patent rights to your company before they will complete a transaction with your company.
All parties must sign the agreement, with limited exceptions in situations where the assignor cannot be reached but where enough evidence exists that documents their intentions and rights. File the patent assignment with the USPTO within three months after the agreement is signed, paying the then-current fee.

Basically speaking, a patent assignment is a legal way for an inventor to transfer ownership of a patent to a business. As you may recall, in the United States, only a person (or group of people) can be listed as the inventor of a patent; a business cannot be listed as the inventor.
A patent assignment is an agreement where one entity (the assignor) transfers all or part of their right, title and interest in a patent or application to another entity (the assignee).
Patent assignment transfers your ownership rights in your patent from yourself to your company. This means that once you assign the patent, you transfer all ownership and control of that patent and its intellectual property rights as the patent inventor to another entity/company, known as an assignee.
For an IP assignment to be valid and enforceable, there must be a valid contract. For a contract to be effective, there must be an offer, acceptance, and proper consideration.
