Even if I had quit my name would have been on the patent. I'm interested in hearing how I could have stopped it once the process started.

  >> Even if I had quit my name would have been on the patent. I'm interested in hearing how I could have stopped it once the process started. Then you'd be a patent owner and could sue for infringement. OTOH you probably agreed to sell them all your IP for $1 or something when you hired in.

    >you probably agreed to sell them all your IP for $1 or something when you hired in usually a condition of employment. FMI see Assignment of Inventions clause - all companies should have employees sign before hiring.

    No, the patent would be owned by the company.
