Continuing my series posts defining patent terms, today’s word is: “INVENTOR”: a person who conceived of, or contributed to the conception of, an Invention (defined in my previous post: https://lnkd.in/echeJFeg). Exemplary usage: Mr. Peltz conceptualized the improved pollinator drone, qualifying him as an inventor on the patent. (Note: Simply reducing an invention (conceived by someone else) to practice does not make one an inventor in the U.S. (See MPEP §2109). Questions and comments welcome! Follow me for more quick patent definitions. Disclaimer: This post provides a high-level summary of key considerations.

Announcement: A new series of posts defining patent terms starts today! Follow me for these brief, regular updates. Today’s word: “INVENTION” – a new product or process, such as a machine, manufactured item, or composition of matter. (Examples: new drug combinations or formulations or an improved solar panel or metal alloy). This includes new uses for known items, such as aspirin’s role in preventing heart attacks. Exemplary usage: Her invention was not positron emission tomography itself but rather methods for hybrid anatomical and functional imaging using PET + CT scanning.
