Analyzing the Inventorship
•Scenario 1:
•The process of separating platelets prior to incorporation into polymers is known in the art
•Inventor B’s “contribution” relates to the reduction of the invention to practice
Scenario 2:
•The separation process is not known to result in an increased polymer/platelet interface, Inventor B may be an inventor to a claim for the process of preparing the material
