Assignee

IP portfolio management software for recorded ownership

IP portfolio management software usually tracks deadlines, costs and docket status. Assignee manages the part those systems take on trust: whether every patent in the portfolio is recorded to the right owner, with a complete chain of title and no forgotten liens. To check a whole schedule at once, use bulk patent assignment lookup.

This report shows what is recorded at the USPTO. Assignments that were never recorded do not appear in any public register. It is not legal advice.

What a portfolio review usually finds

  • Inventor assignments that were signed but never recorded
  • Patents still recorded under a former company name
  • Patents recorded to a subsidiary that was merged or dissolved
  • Security interests from a repaid loan with no recorded release
  • Patents the record shows you sold or never received

Each of these can delay a sale, reduce a valuation or give an opponent a standing argument. All of them are easier to fix before someone else asks. A patent portfolio audit checks every patent on your list for these problems before a sale, a loan or a reorganization.

Assignee does not replace your docket or annuity provider. It checks their records against the public register and tells you where they disagree.
