Guided answer

Someone filed my invention in their name. What can I do?

The route depends on how far their filing has got. Both the timing and your evidence matter, so start by finding out the status.

Not sure whether this applies to your invention?

The honest answer usually needs someone to look at your actual disclosure, your timeline and the prior art. That is a conversation, not an article.
