<p>David, what Rick is drawing your attention to is a list of two
distinct issues.</p>
<ul>
<li>One is summarized in PCT Declaration Number Two: how did it
come to be that the corporate applicant can legitimately be the
applicant given that the inventors are human beings?</li>
<li>Another is summarized in PCT Declaration Number Three: how do
we explain away the discrepancy of the applicant name for the
PCT application being non-identical to the applicant name for
the priority application?</li>
</ul>
<p>You were letting us know that you think you have sidestepped the
second issue by having filed your provisional with an ADS.</p>
<p>But Rick was trying to draw your attention to the first issue. I
did not see anywhere in your response where you addressed the
first issue.</p>
<p>Again, I lectured on this at length just ten days ago in a
free-of-charge webinar. Slides 23-38.</p>

<div dir="ltr">I did. Did you see my response? The cases cited
in your article are from before the AIA, when "applicant" was
the inventors. This is a post-AIA provisional with a
correctly-designated applicant. My understanding of the Paris
Convention is that it's "applicant" that matters, not
"assignee." Is that sound?<br>
