: : : Hi, : : : Does anyone know how the number of "inventors" listed on a patent impacts the ownership of the patent? This assumes that rights have not been assigned to another party. Can the amount of ownership of a patent amongst the "inventors" be defined in the patent as percentages or does it need to be defined in other legal devices? : : : Thanks : : Each of the listed inventors on a patent is a "joint owner." They are free to license, use, sell, import, etc. the patented invention without consent of the other inventors/owners. If you want to change this, you have to use "other legal devices" such as contract, separate from the patent. : Dear G, : It is important to get legal advice before you are exposed to priblems. : That goes for all parties and the inventor or inventors. : M.
