It is important to maintain proper records in order to protect the fruits of any development effort. If an invention is independently conceived by two persons at about the same time, then only the first inventor is entitled to a patent. The manner in which prior inventorship can be established is fairly well defined in the law. Important to this proof is the maintenance of proper written records. 3, record 7, English, - prior%20inventorship
