ORIGINAL: jlf1961 I have read it, but care to explain why the law states only a NATURAL person can own a patent? How about, instead, you support your oft repeated claim that the law says that. What a concept, eh? Citation please. K. quote:
When someone makes an invention, and does so as an employee of a company, usually the company owns the right to apply for a patent. The exception once again is the United States, where only natural persons may apply for a patent. In the USA, the employee will typically have a clause in his employment contract stating that he assigns all his patent rights to the company. The filing is then done on behalf of the employee, but the rights immediately go to the company. Crash course on patents: Who can get a patent
