Who is the patent applicant?
As far as patent applications are concerned, “applicant” basically means the owner. A patent applicant specifically refers to a person (which may also be a company – aka “juristic person”) who has the right to apply for the patent – in other words, the patent owner. Therefore, in the typical situation where an employee’s invention is owned by the employer, the employee would be identified as the inventor and the employer the applicant.

Why are you lumping IBAT and John Burba as the same? Burba works for IBAT.

If burba would leave the company, the patent application would not go with him, because he is not the first named applicant on the application.
