Inventorship

Inventorship disputes concern who is named on a patent. A person who contributed to the conception of at least one claim must be named as an inventor, and a person who did not must not be; either error can be corrected under the Patent Act, and a deliberate error may support other defences. Because conception is the touchstone, these disputes turn on who devised the definite and permanent idea of the complete invention rather than who reduced it to practice or supervised the work. Corroboration of an alleged inventor's testimony is required. The opinions collected here address claims to correct inventorship, the evidence needed to prove a contribution, and related ownership disputes.
