As a contributor to the intellectual achievements of invention creation, no matter who the applicant/patentee is, the actual inventor has the right to request that the identity of the inventor be indicated in the application documents/patent documents.
Based on the provisions of Article 15 of the Patent Law on the right to apply and Article 16 on the reward of inventors/designers, considering the subsequent property rights disputes and economic interests, it may be difficult for part-time units to identify themselves as inventors in patent applications, which needs close attention.
From the practice of patent application, the inventor in the patent application documents shall be subject to the inventor information recorded in the request submitted at the time of application; According to the first paragraph of Article 85 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law, at the request of the parties concerned, the department in charge of patent work (local patent office) may mediate disputes over the qualifications of inventors and designers.
