This phrase, as such, coming to us via the Hungarian-Magyar "jogutódja"

The phrase is found on several Hungarian original patent documents.

A search, within our data, of "legal successor", brings up a case or two in which one company is the legal successor to another. These inter-corporate instances of the phrase are of a slightly different interest.

That aside, we may or may not find direct analogues to the Hungarian-Magyar "jogutódja", in other languages, in the patent documents filed with other national offices. Luft-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft m.b.H. filing as the 100% rightsholder and as the legal successor to Franz Schneider fits into inventor-company patterns with which we are familiar. Filing by a "legal successor" will fall naturally into the phenomenon of "Applicant is inventor? - No" designation. These are all instances of third party filing‎, with presumed vested interests, beyond those of the inventor(s) in question, behind the filing of the patent, with likely pertinence to the quality patent, or high quality patent, as opposed to the low quality patent.
