: : If more than two names appear on a patent, is one of the parties obligated to pay royalties to the other party? : Dear Pat, : Depends on the circumstances and agreements. There may be assignments. My unresearched recollection of the law is that unless there is a written agreement to the contrary, joint inventors can deal freely with an invention. : M.
