Frequently Asked Questions

What types of patent licenses are there?

Patent licenses are primarily categorized as: exclusive (only the licensee may use), sole (both licensor and licensee may use), or non-exclusive (licensor may license multiple parties). The choice depends on business needs and negotiation outcomes.

How is the price of a patent transfer determined?

Patent transfer pricing typically considers factors such as technological advancement, market potential, remaining protection period, comparable transaction prices in the field, and R&D investment. We offer professional valuation services and provide detailed reports for your reference.

What legal risks should be considered in patent transactions?

Key risks include patent validity challenges (potential invalidation), infringement liabilities, and ownership disputes. Conduct due diligence before the transaction and clearly define risk-sharing mechanisms in the contract.

How long does the patent right change procedure take?

It typically takes 1–2 months for the China National Intellectual Property Administration to process changes to patent record items. Upon completion, a Certificate of Compliance with Procedures will be issued, and the change will be published in the Official Gazette of Patents.

What are the key challenges in commercializing university patents?

Common challenges in university patent commercialization include misalignment with market demand, inadequate pricing mechanisms, and insufficient incentives for researchers. We help overcome these barriers through market research, professional assessments, and tailored benefit-sharing designs.

How do I apply for patent-backed financing?

The patent pledge financing process includes: patent valuation, bank approval, signing the pledge agreement, registering the pledge, and fund disbursement. We provide end-to-end services for patent valuation, document preparation, and procedural handling.
