There is no universal definition of an inventor. Inventorship is governed by national criteria.
In some countries, like in the USA, the law and\/or the caselaw gives a clear definition of this concept. In other countries, like in Europe, the definition is not so well established.
\u2192 BE\/EP :<\/strong><\/span> Each person with legal capacity who has made an inventive contribution to the development of the invention must be considered as an inventor or co-inventor. No distinction is made as to whether one person contributed more than another.
\u2192 US:<\/strong><\/span> An inventor is a natural person who has contributed to the conception of the invention. \u2018Conception\u2019 is defined as the formulation of a clear and complete idea of the invention in working order. An idea is sufficiently clear and complete when the invention may be carried out by applying ordinary skills without having to perform extensive research or experiments. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Inventors are designated provided they made an active inventive contribution to the conception, the development, the improvement, etc. of the product or process object of the patent application, particularly the patent claims in the US. Therefore, inventor designation is made independently of any honorary, hierarchical, financial, service or friendship consideration. The mere fact of being the head of the laboratory or being the hierarchical superior of a true inventor does not make you automatically an inventor. Moreover, since the claims may be amended in the course of the patent application examination, the list of inventors can be reviewed accordingly. <\/p>\n

In a patent application, it is possible to have:<\/strong>
\u2192<\/span> inventors who did not physically work together or at the same time,
\u2192<\/strong><\/span> inventors who did not make the same type or amount of contribution,
\u2192<\/strong><\/span> inventors who did not make a contribution to the subject matter of each part of the invention described in the patent application.<\/p>\n

Inventors have to be named when filing patent applications. However, inventorship should not be confused with ownership. As a general rule, the University, as employer, is the owner of inventions conceived by its researchers (employees) during their research activities at the University.
Students including PhD students who are not employees may assign their rights to the University to benefit from the same University support as that provided to researchers (see IP Transfer of rights PI<\/a><\/strong><\/span>). <\/p>\n

The correct designation of inventors is in addition required:<\/strong>
\u2192<\/strong><\/span> to identify the researchers who may benefit from the financial returns
attributed to inventors according to the regulation of their institution.
\u2192<\/span> to determine the shares of ownership of a patent application in case
of inventors affiliated to distinct institutions, usually according to the
principle of \u201cownership follows inventorship\u201d.
Moreover, it is critical that all inventors (and only inventors) are designated
in a patent application, since a patent that fails to name the correct
inventors may be ruled invalid.<\/p>\n

Au sein des universit\u00e9s et des Hautes Ecoles, la FTO concerne en particulier les projets de recherche collaborative ou appliqu\u00e9e, et les spin-offs.<\/p>

L'analyse de brevetabilit\u00e9<\/strong> consiste \u00e0 analyser l\u2019art ant\u00e9rieur pour s'assurer qu\u2019une invention est nouvelle et inventive. Elle permet la r\u00e9daction d\u2019un brevet couvrant le produit ou proc\u00e9d\u00e9 vis\u00e9 tout en limitant les possibilit\u00e9s pour les concurrents de commercialiser un produit ou un proc\u00e9d\u00e9 trop similaire.<\/p>

L'analyse FTO<\/strong> consiste quant \u00e0 elle \u00e0 s'assurer qu\u2019un produit ou proc\u00e9d\u00e9 dont la commercialisation est envisag\u00e9e ne tombe pas totalement ou partiellement dans le champ de protection (d\u00e9finitive ou provisoire) de brevets d\u00e9tenus par des tiers.<\/p>
