Applicant refers to an entity that applies for a patent. Before September 16, 2012, only inventors could apply for patents in the US. This was changed on September 16, 2012 so that an assignee (or patent owner) may now be the applicant, as has been customary in other countries for many years.
Applicant data includes the inventor-applicants for WO records when US is a designated state.
US pre-grants will list inventors as applicants when no assignee info is present.
Since the EPO Register data updates the applicant information when reassignment of an application occurs and DOCDB does not update this information, the "original" applicant may differ from the epo and intermediate formats.
