PATENTEE

patentee (pat-<<schwa>>n-tee). One who either has been granted a patent or has succeeded in title to a patent. • Although it might seem helpful to distinguish a patentee as a person to whom a patent is issued and a patent-holder as the owner of a patent, including the original grantee’s assigns, the Patent Act explicitly includes all title-holders under the term “patentee.” 35 USCA § 100(d). — Also termed patent-holder; patent-owner. [Cases: Patents  90, 117. C.J.S. Patents §§ 120–125, 209.]
