Assignee

Issuance of a United States patent transforms a patent appHcant into a patentee, and new concerns may arise relevant to management. For example, the patent should be reviewed to determine formal and substantive correctness. An audit should be taken regularly to determine whether there is a continuing justification to pay the maintenance fees required to keep the patent in force during its effective period. The patentee or patent assignee may have to address concerns of patent infringement or patent vaHdity. 

Under U.S. law, the inventor is defined as the owner of the patent unless the patent rights have been assigned to his or her employer, or some other individual or organization. Designations of assignment are typically filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (U.S. PTO) prior to the issuance of patents, and the name of the assignee is printed on the patent. In most countries outside of the United States, the patentee is the employer, rather than the employed inventor.

The time span covered by CLAIMS is unique chemical patents from 1950, nonchemical patents from 1963. The bibhographic information for pre-1970 patents is unfortunately replete with errors, especially with respect to inventor names. On the other hand, lEI has done an admirable job of standardizing patent assignee names and correcting discrepancies and errors in the originals. 

Other Individual Country Databases and Auxiliary Files. The USPatents files on ORBIT, supphed by Derwent, are similar ia their contents to the CLAIMS-Bibliographic files, including all the front page information and the full claims language. These files do not iaclude the two-dimensional stmctures provided by IFI, nor do they have IFI s standardization of assignee names. Citation searching is available at a cost considerably less than that for the portion of the CLAIMS-Citation file that covers the same period.

Sehumacher, G., U.S. Patent 4,511,626 (1985) assignee Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing. 

Infringement of a patent occurs when an individual or company makes, uses, or sells an invention without the permission of the inventor, assignee, owner, or licensee. The U.S. courts will award damages and place penalties on the infringer. But patent infringement cases are very costly and time consuming. 

Any tenant who has not contracted to the contrary may sub-let his land (or part of his land) for any term less than that which he holds. A sub-letting is therefore distinguished from an assignment in that a tenant, who assigns, disposes of the whole of his interest under the lease (and thereby puts the assignee into his place), whereas a tenant who sub-lets does not. 

U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Web Patent Databases. The Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) [72] offers free World Wide Web access, http // www.uspto.gov/main/patents.htm, to a bibliographic patent database that uses the most current patent classification system, this may not match the classification data that appears on the printed patent, and to a full-text patent database that uses the classification data that appear on the printed patent, this may not match the current classification data. The databases start with January 1, 1976, patents. The full text of a patent includes all bibliographical data (e.g., inventor s name, the patent s title, the assignee s name, etc.) and the abstract, full description of the invention, and the claims. All the words in the text of the patent are searchable. If the patent number is known, the patent, regardless of year, can be ordered from the PTO. Automated searching of 1971 to date patents is available at some of the Patent and Trademark Depository Libraries. Prior to 1971 searching can be done at the PTO facilities or at the Patent and Trademark Depository Libraries. Commercial patent search services are also available.
