Principles of a personal data register related to assignments

1. Reason for processing personal data

We process personal information because:

(i) processing is necessary for the implementation of the agreement in which the registered is a party, or to conclude pre-contractual measures at the request of the registered;

In practice, for example, we need personal information from the inventors / model creators to file a patent/design application. Company / applicant contact information is required for requesting order instructions.

(ii) processing of data is necessary for the registrar or to carry out legitimate interests of a third party, unless data protection requires interests or basic rights and freedoms of the registered to displace such advantages, especially if the registered is a child.

Often the applicant is different from the inventor. The inventor information is needed to protect the applicant’s rights. In addition, practically in all countries, it is obligatory to submit to the office information about the inventor / model creator.

2. Personal information to be collected

Company / applicant’s representative details for assignments:

Name of the company / applicant, name of the person, position in the company / with respect to the applicant, contact details (email, phone number, Skype ID etc.) for contact and confirmation of orders.

Inventor information relating to orders:

Inventor’s name, inventor’s home address, inventor’s nationality and / or domicile, industrial property reference (patent number, application number, name of the invention or other reference, general number related to industrial property (patent, trademark, design), inventor’s contact information (email, phone number, Skype ID etc.)) for contact and execution of orders. Relationship between the inventor and the applicant.

3. Registry holder and access to information
