Gather the relevant ownership records, assignments, employment or development agreements and existing licenses for professional review. The inventor’s involvement does not necessarily establish personal title or authority to transfer. Explain the actual chain of rights and any restrictions before describing the patent as the investor’s contribution.

Record whether the arrangement is an assignment, license or another interest, and identify its territorial and commercial scope. Ask intellectual-property counsel to resolve missing links rather than filling them with assumptions. Connect any final transfer documents to the company’s records and business plan. A valuation report does not cure a defect in the proposed contributor’s authority.
A former name on a dormant supplier contract may need only an explanation, while the share register and the bank mandate that show who controls the enterprise need clear evidence of identity and authority, through a correction or an accepted explanation as appropriate. Coordinate immigration and transaction advice before signing or transferring funds, since the label escrow alone does not establish that an arrangement meets the requirement. A purchase agreement, however detailed, records an intention; the classification is interested in what has already left the investor's control.
