QUESTION

Who is the patent legally assigned to?

Asked on Mar 10th, 2011 on Patents - Oregon
More details to this question:
A patent was granted to me and a partner as co-inventors, then it was assigned to an LLC that included a third, investment partner who did not contribute to the design of the invention. If the LLC is dissolved for example, because of neglected yearly upkeep payments does that mean that the patent automatically reverts back to the two of us originally named on the patent? Thanks very much for any information you can give on this.

Not necessarily - there must be a winding up of the company assets - including the patent, wherein the distribution may be different.
