This template is a deed of assignment for transferring ownership of patents within the Indian jurisdiction. It outlines the transfer of all rights, titles, and interests from an inventor to an assignee in exchange for a specified financial consideration. It also includes provisions for the assignor to disclose any future improvements made to the invention to the assignee.
About this template
What is this template?
A deed for the absolute transfer of a patent registered at a Patent Office in India. It contains a specific covenant requiring the inventor to disclose and assist with future improvements to the manufacturing process.
When should you use it?
Use this when a registered patent owner is selling their entire interest for a one-time payment. Use an Intellectual Property License Agreement instead if the owner wants to retain title while allowing another party to use the invention.

| 3 | Warranty of Title | The assignor guarantees they are the sole owner and have not previously assigned or dealt with the patent rights. |
| 4 | Future Improvements | Obliges the assignor to disclose any improvements made to the invention while the patent is in force to the assignee. |

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
