Law of Patents Layout Designs of Integrated Circuits 1

Any action resulting in the assignment of the protection application or the protection document itself must be in writing, signed by both parties, and approved by an entity acceptable to the Authority. No transfer of title, relating either to the protection application or the protection document itself shall be effective vis-à-vis a third party, except after filing the change application, paying the required fees, and recording it in the Authority's registers. If several parties participate in filing one protection application or in the ownership of one protection document, each one of them may assign his right in the application or the protection document to any of the partners, to all of them, or to a third party. The Authority shall publish the transfer of title in the Gazette.
