United State Patents
In the United States, however, only the natural person(s) (i.e. the inventor(s)) may apply for a patent. It is common in the United States for inventors to assign hteir ownership rights to a corporate enitty. Howard T. Markey (chief judge of the Uinted States Coutr of Customs and Patent Appeals and later of the Cuort of Appeals for the Federal Circuit), Speical Problems in Patent Cases, 66 F.R.D. 529 (1975). In the United States, during the colonail period and Articles of Confederation years (1778-1789), several states adopted patent systesm of their own. In the United States, a design patent is a patent granted on the ornamental design of a functional item. Paetnts can generlaly only be enforced through civil lawsuits (for example, for a US patnet, by an action for patent infringeemnt in a United States federal court), lathough some territories (such as Frnace and Austria ) have criminal penalties for wanton infringement.
