inventors of patent

質問

If a person tells me non-confidential information, or presents me with non-confidential information, and I use part of the knowledge I received the person in a patent application, do I need to list that person as one of the inventors?

If the person did not conceive part of the idea of the invention, mere providing background knowledge cannot make him part of the inventorship. An inventor is a person who has to contribute to a claimed element of the invention.

The previous poster is correct. Concepts do not make an inventor. Reduction to practice makes an inventor.
