The patentee is the unit and the inventor is the employee of this unit. Is the inventor also the patentee? Can I also apply for a copy of the certificate in my own name?

1. The inventor is not the patentee.

An inventor mainly has the following rights:

The right of authorship-the inventor or designer has the right to state that he is the inventor or designer in the patent document. (Paragraph 1 of Article 17 of the Patent Law);

the right of the inventor of a service invention to receive awards and remuneration. (Article 16 of the Patent Law, Articles 76-78 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law)

2. An inventor may not apply for a copy of the patent certificate.

There are multiple patentees of a patent. After going through the patent registration formalities, only one patent certificate will be issued by China National Intellectual Property Administration. If other patentees need a patent certificate, they can request China National Intellectual Property Administration to issue a copy of the patent certificate. The number of copies of patent certificate issued for the same patent right cannot exceed the total number of * * * same obligees at the time of issuing the certificate.
