The Legal Risk Score of a Patent Assignment Template is Medium
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- The document must be properly executed as a deed.
- There is a potential for incomplete transfer of rights if all necessary supplementary documents and actions are not executed beyond the initial agreement, as the document requires further actions to perfect and carry into full force the intended transfer.
- The assignment is comprehensive, transferring all rights in the patents including future claims and legal actions, which might limit the original owner's control or future benefits from the patents.
Users familiar with patent assignments and related legal processes may find this document straightforward, but should be cautious of the implications of the full transfer of rights and the need for thorough follow-through on all stipulated requirements.
