Can I change ownership of a patent application?

in Entrepreneurs, Image, Inventors, New Patents, Patent Infringement, Provisional Patent Applications, Types of Patents, Uncategorized

During examination of a pending patent application or after the patent is granted, the owner of the patent may change: 1) the original owner may transfer ownership to another entity or party, through an “assignment;” or 2) the original owner may retain ownership but change its name.

The original owner should record the assignment or name change with the USPTO’s Assignment Recordation Branch by filing a Recordation Cover Sheet along with a copy of the actual assignment or proof of name change.
