You should know that inventorship is often challenged after a patent issues. If the challenger is successful, the patent will not be enforced. It can be a loss to you and your organization.

如果你以前的申請材料齊全,你就有相當把握的贏麵。可先禮後兵。你已快退休,應無所顧忌。

I did not mean at all that you are a student or postdoc. I simply use an example in the academical setting as I think it is most illustrative of who the inventor is.

Theoretically speaking, the inventor named in a patent/application is the person who initiates the idea, not the person that does most of the legwork. That is why sometime only boss's name is on the patent instead of the students/postdocs who demonstrate the workability of the idea. If you indeed initiated the idea, you are duty-bound to point out at this time, because any potential competitors can challenge the inventorship of the patent -- if the application issues as a patent or the technology is licensed to the third party -- and cause great damage to NIH.
1。專利本身通不通過,隻和美國專利局有關,和FDA 無關。專利通不通過,和臨床不臨床也沒關係。產品能不能上市,或能不能用於臨床試驗,才需FDA批準。如果專利通過,但後來FDA不批準臨床或上市,專利本身也有可能有人買,因為可能其他人的專利(比如改進專利)和你的交叉,需要買斷你的,他的產品才能合法上市。
2。你的工作如果是在Dr。A的指導之下進行的,他可以是inventor or joint inventor (with you) if he proposes ideas.
A兄,根據米國的專利法,專利必須包含真正的發明人。Joint Invention 必須包含所有的發明人,否則專利無效。建議您保留所有的證據,包括您的 email, lab note book, and anything that can substantiate the claim that you are the true inventor (or joint inventor). You will be able to either negotiate with him if you like. He should know better once he consult a patent attorney. Of course, your evidence needs to be strong.
