Frequently Asked Questions

WHO ARE THE INVENTORS?

Naming the wrong inventors may invalidate a patent. Inventors are only those individuals who had "inventive" input to the process, not those who merely carried out the directions and/or ideas of others. Therefore, colleague(s), technician(s), or student(s) who have been involved in or carried out the research may not necessarily be inventors.
