12.8.2 Action claiming ownership As noted with respect to the causes of invalidity, Article 10(1) of LP-2015 provides that “The right to a patent shall belong to the inventor or to their successors in title and it shall be transferable by any of the means recognized in the Law.” And according to Article 12 of LP-2015, where a patent has been granted to a person not authorized to obtain it, the person authorized may claim transfer of ownership of the patent.114 Thus, the inventor or their assignee could opt to claim transfer of registration, or as explained earlier, seek to annul the registration. Article 12(1) of LP-2015: “Where a patent has been granted to a person not authorized to obtain it according to the provisions of Article 10, the person authorized in accordance with the said Article may claim transfer of ownership of the patent, without prejudice to any other corresponding rights or action.”
