International IP Portfolio Acquisition Advisory Attorney
Before closing on a foreign patent portfolio, three questions do more work than the rest of the diligence. Whether the seller actually owns the rights. The most common defect is a gap at the origin rather than in the later assignments. In the United States, 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" may leave rights with the inventor. In Germany, rights remain with an employee inventor unless the employer followed the procedure under the Employee Inventions Act. A clean chain of corporate assignments does not cure either problem. Whether the transfer will be effective where it matters. A written assignment suffices in the United States, and recordation with the USPTO goes to priority against later purchasers rather than to validity (35 U.S.C. § 261). Elsewhere the rule differs: in several jurisdictions an assignee lacks standing to enforce until the national register is updated, and some require government approval or filing before the transfer takes effect. Delay in recordation can leave a window in which no one can sue. Whether approval is required at all. A foreign buyer acquiring patents held by a US business may fall within CFIUS jurisdiction, and transferring Chinese patents abroad can require a technology export license. These are conditions precedent rather than post-closing administration, and treating them otherwise is what turns a signed deal into a stalled one.
