Can an Assignee be named the Applicant in a U.S. national stage patent application?

    Can an Assignee also be identified as an Applicant in a US national phase application?

    Yes, if the earliest filing date of the US national phase application is after September 16, 2012 (post patent reform/AIA).  For a fuller discussion of patent applicant vs. assignee, see here.
