Revocation of Power of Attorney and Appointment of New Attorney
This form is to transfer to the Firm, an active U.S. patent application which is currently being handled by another attorney or agent. The first page has signature lines for the Assignee (if any), and up to two inventors. The second page is required if there are more than two inventors. Please consider whether you should ask the Firm to complete a conflict of interest evaluation on the application before this form is signed.

 
Assignments by the Inventor(s)
A written assignment from each inventor must be recorded at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office if the employer wants to own the patent application, generally speaking. Simple signature is sufficient to be recorded, but witnesses or notarization may be advisable under certain circumstances. Therefore, three versions of the form appear below. For each version, the supplemental page is required if there is more than one inventor. If an inventor is deceased, incapacitated, or refuses to sign, then a Petition to the Commissioner may be drafted based on the circumstances of the case.

Assignment
If the assignee of a U.S. application or registration has an address
outside the U.S., then a Power of Attorney and Designation of Domestic Representative form is required for each application/registration in the Assignment, generally speaking. This Assignment form is for recordal and does not contain a number of common provisions (such as a warranty of title clause, an integration clause, and a notarization clause) which may be advisable depending on the circumstances. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will record an Assignment that is signed only by the Assignor, and not by the Assignee. An effective date may be added to the first sentence of this form, if appropriate (for example, "This Assignment is made effective January 1, 2001, between ....").
