When I worked in a state-owned enterprise, my colleagues and I got a patent. My colleague’s name was first and I was second. The company leader asked me to add the name of a relative.

Types of patentees Patentees include three types: ①The unit where the inventor or designer works. For employee inventions and creations made by employees of enterprises, institutions, social groups, and state agencies when they perform the tasks of their own units or mainly make use of the material conditions of their own units, the right to apply for patents belongs to that unit. ②Inventor and designer. For non-service inventions and creations completed by an inventor or designer, the right to apply for a patent belongs to the inventor or designer. The inventor or designer referred to in the Patent Law refers to a person who has made outstanding contributions to the substantive features of an invention. Persons who are only responsible for organizational work, persons who facilitate the utilization of material conditions, or other persons who perform auxiliary work during the completion of an invention and creation shall not be considered as inventors or designers. ③*** is the same inventor and *** is the same designer. An invention-creation completed by the collaboration of two or more units or individuals is called a joint invention-creation, and the person who completes the invention-creation is called a joint inventor or joint designer. Unless otherwise agreed, the right to apply for a patent for ***'s invention-creation belongs to ***'s co-inventor. After the application is approved, the patent right belongs to ***'s co-inventor ***. For inventions and creations completed by a unit that accepts research and design tasks entrusted by other units, unless otherwise agreed, the right to apply for a patent belongs to the unit that completed the invention. After the application is approved, the patent right will be owned or held by the unit that applied.
