Lack of Corrporation Defeats Claim of Co-invention

Weaver v. Houchin, [2011-1327] (March 7, 2012) [NON-PRECEDENTIAL] [LOURIE, BRYSON, MOORE] The Federal Circuit affirmed summary judgment that Weaver failed to prove he was a coinventor of U.S. Patent No. 7,316,614.
DISCUSSION: After U. S. Patent No. 7,316,614 issued with five inventors, but a Certificate of Correction issued removing four of the inventors, who then filed suit. The other deleted inventors dropped out, but Weaver persisted. However, the district court found that Weaver's claim of co-invention lacked corroboration, and the Federal Circuit agreed.
