How many names can be on a patent?

No limit provided you are all inventors. However, including a party who is not an inventor may render a patent invalid (although it is a correctable error).

Can a patent be in two names?

There may be more than one applicant named on a patent. These are typically referred to as co-applicants (if the application is still pending) or co-owners (if a patent is granted). In most territories, there are some limitations on what a co-owner may do both with and without the consent of the other co-owners.

Can two people have the same patent?

Yes, a patent can have one or multiple inventors. However, the number of inventors is dependent on those that invented the claimed invention. United States Patent Law requires that all inventors must be named in a patent application.

What if two people file a patent at the same time?

Double patenting applies even if the inventor or inventors named in each patent or application are not identical, so long as there is common ownership. If, however, two patent applications owned by different parties claimed the identical invention, the applications might become involved in an interference proceeding.

What happens if two individuals have the same patent?

Under patent law, each co-inventor named on a patent application owns that property. In the absence of any agreement, each co-inventor owns 100 percent of the patent, regardless of how much each individual contributed to the invention.
