Equitable inventorship correction claim must be resolved after factually-overlapping fraud claim
The Federal Circuit issued a ruling Friday addressing the right to a jury trial in a case involving combined equitable (in the form of a correction of inventorship claim under 35 U.S.C. § 256 ) and legal (in the form of various tort claims) issues. The court held that the jury trial on the legal issues must precede the bench trial on inventorship when the legal issues have a common issue of fact with the inventorship claim.
