[Patentpractice] Patent lawyer as inventor on client's application?

The attorney can not file their own application at least because that 
violates their ethical obligations involving a prohibition on using 
client confidences.

To my mind, the entirely different innovation is up for grabs for 
someone else who conceives of it - if anyone does - bearing in mind that 
the inventor's application will be prior art to that when it publishes 
as will the commercial product from the inventor, /e.g./,  when in 
public use or offered for sale/sold.
