This section covers the details of inventorship including a brief discussion on naming inventorship, and how an inventor must contribute to the conception of the invention. As long as the inventor maintains intellectual domination over making the invention, ideas, suggestions, and materials may be adopted from others.

This section also briefly touches on how the inventor is not required to reduce the invention to practice. He or she merely could have supervised the reduction to practice. Lastly, this section outlines the requirements for joint inventorship. Inventors may apply for a patent jointly even if they did not physically work together or at the same time.
