The 313 Apple patents that list Steve Jobs
- tzs 15y agoNote that it is a statutory requirement in the US that a patent list as inventors exactly those who actually are inventors. You can neither leave off people who should be there, nor include people who should not. If you add non-inventors or leave off inventors, that is grounds for invalidation of the patent. If you ever sue someone over the patent, they will vigorously and deeply probe that point. There's a very good chance Jobs actually was an inventor on these patents, and not just listed for ego or show.
