Inventorship issues in the U.S:
What you don’t know can hurt you

Inventorship issues surrounding U.S. patent applications, U.S. patents and U.S.-based inventors seem to crop up frequently, regardless of industry. In the worst case, failure to account for inventorship issues can render a U.S. patent unenforceable and valueless.

Such problems are likely due to misunderstandings of the singular U.S. definitions of inventorship, changes in inventorship throughout the lifecycle of a patent application, differences between U.S. and EU inventorship implications, and more often than not, a simple lack of awareness of the potential issues and of the severity of the potential repercussions inventorship issues can have on the value and enforceabilty of a patent.

Please join us as we share a series of actionable best practices for in-house counsel and external counsel on how to make sure you get inventorship right — as well as how to build a culture of awareness around inventorship matters.

We will also of course ground these best practices in a discussion of the essential rules, regulations, cases and definitions that frame the inventorshp issues in the U.S.
