Assignments
by the Inventor(s)
A written assignment from each
inventor must be recorded at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
if the employer wants to own the patent application, generally speaking.
Simple signature is sufficient to be recorded, but witnesses or notarization
may be advisable under certain circumstances. Therefore, three versions
of the form appear below. For each version, the supplemental page
is required if there is more than one inventor. If an inventor is
deceased, incapacitated, or refuses to sign, then a Petition to the
Commissioner may be drafted based on the circumstances of the case.

Assignment
If
the assignee of a U.S. application or registration has an address
outside the U.S., then a Power of Attorney and Designation of Domestic
Representative form is required for each application/registration
in the Assignment, generally speaking. This Assignment form is for
recordal and does not contain a number of common provisions (such
as a warranty of title clause, an integration clause, and a notarization
clause) which may be advisable depending on the circumstances. The
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will record an Assignment that is
signed only by the Assignor, and not by the Assignee. An effective
date may be added to the first sentence of this form, if appropriate
(for example, "This Assignment is made effective January 1, 2001,
between ....").
