First, I will describe the situation. After that, I will ask my questions.
I need your advices to defend my own right in my patent!
Situation
----------
My thesis was proceeded in the offices of a french institute that I call here by "B"
in FRANCE and financed by other institutes.
"B" did not finance my work and I am not an employed by "B".
I invented a process which was patented in France.
According to the certificate of utility obtain in FRANCE, I am quoted as the first inventor.
But two of my bosses are added as 2nd and 3rd inventors without any contribution for their share.
In addition, I did not sign any document even those who concern the transfer of right. Also, I did not
obtain any remuneration.
Questions
---------
I have just learned on Internet that the Institute B extended my patent in Norway (Nov. 2004) and the
UK (Dec. 2004) without to inform me and obtain my agreement. In addition, the institute "B" changed the
inventors order and put one of their salaried (the boss) as the first inventor.
What should I do to defend my own right and stop this extension?
Can you advise me please?
Last month, the institute have send to me two documents to extend the patent on the USA:
- Declaration and power of attorney for patent application
- Assignment.
I refused to sign these documents without renumeration and because
the patent was deposited in France under the blackmail.
If the institute "B" uses the same method as in Norway and the UK, what should I do to protect my own right in the USA?
Thank you for your help!!
