International IP Portfolio Acquisition Advisory Attorney in Manhattan
The most common title defect in an IP portfolio sits at the origin rather than in the later assignments. Stanford v. Roche, 563 U.S. 776 (2011), confirmed that a promise to assign does not itself transfer title, so an inventor agreement using “agrees to assign” can leave rights with the inventor; in Germany, rights remain with an employee inventor unless the employer followed the statutory procedure. A clean chain of corporate assignments does not cure either gap. Security interests are recorded in different places depending on the asset, which is why they go undiscovered. A security interest in a patent or trademark is perfected by a UCC-1 filing, but one in a registered copyright must be recorded with the Copyright Office. A search of UCC filings alone will not surface a copyright lien. Transfer effectiveness also varies by jurisdiction. A written assignment suffices in the United States, where recordation with the USPTO governs priority against later purchasers rather than validity (35 U.S.C. § 261), while several countries require the national register to be updated before the assignee can enforce, and some require government approval before the transfer takes effect. Where a foreign buyer is acquiring patents held by a US business, CFIUS jurisdiction may also attach — a condition precedent rather than post-closing administration. Legal strategies must navigate regulatory frameworks and export controls to preserve market exclusivity during corporate asset transfers.
