Novation

Patent Claims

Agreement of parties to a contract to substitute a new contract for the old one. it extinguishes (cancels) the old agreement. a novation is often used when the parties find that payments or performance cannot be made under the terms of the original agreement, or the debtor will be forced to default or go into bankruptcy unless the debt is restructured. while voluntary, a novation is often the only way any funds can be paid.
