FAQ

Common Questions

An assignment is a permanent transfer of ownership — the assignor gives up all rights. A license is a permission to use the IP while the owner retains title. Assignments are typically irrevocable, whereas licenses can be terminated under specified conditions.

While an unrecorded assignment is valid between the parties, recording with the patent office (e.g., USPTO) is critical to establish priority against subsequent purchasers and to ensure standing in enforcement actions. We handle all recordation filings.

Generally, assignments are irrevocable. However, some jurisdictions allow for reversion under specific circumstances such as non-use, breach of conditions, or statutory termination rights (e.g., U.S. copyright termination after 35 years). We draft assignments with clear reversion terms when needed.
