IP Assignments
Under the current law, every patent application must be filed in the name of a true inventor. Thus, every organization that is involved in patenting of their work, must ensure that their employees sign an assignment agreement. However, assignment agreements come in many forms and variations. Assignments can be used to convey titles to basic, provisional or continuing applications. Some assignments assign only partial interest, others provide variable schedules of profitability or restrict the distribution of related products. Be that as it may, STEVEN IVY P.C. handles assignments of diverse complexities for clients from various technological areas.
