What is the difference between the first author of an invention patent and other authors?

The first author of an invention patent is different from other authors in the following three aspects:

1, the concept is different: the former refers to the person who has made the greatest contribution to innovative works such as scientific research papers, patents and research reports. In the case of multiple authors working together; The latter refers to the overall person in charge of the project.

2. Different functions: the former mainly ensures the authenticity and reliability of the article; The latter is mainly responsible for the reliability of the article, responsible for all exchanges with the editorial department and accepting the consultation of readers.

3. Different gains: The advantage of the former is that once the article is published on a professional paper website or magazine, the first author will be recognized by professionals in the industry; The advantage of the latter is that it can establish wider contacts with the outside world.

Extended data:

Generally speaking, the achievements made in the process of technology development and new product development should apply for invention patents because of their high technical level. For example, the application of laser technology has been developed, synthetic leather has been manufactured by laser holography or grating lithography, and holographic grating synthetic leather has been developed. Then, both the leather itself and its manufacturing method should apply for invention patents.

Another example: drugs developed by biochemical technology, whether drugs or methods of manufacturing drugs, should apply for invention patents. Another example is that a factory has put forward a design scheme to improve the air compressor, which is feasible, and the effect after implementation will greatly reduce the production cost and improve the performance of the machine, so the scheme can be applied for an invention patent.
