[Patentpractice] For a provisional application, difficulty getting one inventor's signature

[Carl Oppedahl]

David, what Rick is drawing your attention to is a list of two distinct 
issues.

  * 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?
  * 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?

You were letting us know that you think you have sidestepped the second 
issue by having filed your provisional with an ADS.

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.

Again, I lectured on this at length just ten days ago in a 
free-of-charge webinar.  Slides 23-38.
