Hello walmmist,

Inventors, within the meaning of the patent law, can in principle only be natural persons. Their nationality is then a question of individual cases.

If a Spanish inventor in Germany reports his invention to his German employer, the German employer may be sufficient. a patent application in Germany and names the Spanish inventor as such.

The territorial scope of protection of the patent in turn depends on the application and has no relation to the inventor or to the applicant.

In the event of historical events, the country allocation always counts at the time of the event. My grandfather was born in Gdansk, Germany. Even if the place is called Gdansk today, and is Polish.

Nationality doesn’t matter. A person invented something. And any patent office may have granted a patent.

A country does not invent anything – but it can very well support an inventor.

No, it is always about which country the invention was part of when the invention was made or In which country the invention was first patented, if it is a technical matter.

The lecture is difficult to understand. But in principle, people find something, not countries.
