| QUESTION: Who can Apply for a Patent? |
| TOPIC: Patents |
| ANSWER |
|
The legal owner of an invention can obtain the patent. Typically, the owner is the inventor or inventors. However, if an inventor sells his or her rights, then a second party will own the invention and be able to obtain a patent. If the inventor makes the invention as part of an employment contract, the employer may own the invention and have the right to the patent.
