A team of engineers at TechGen Corp. develops a new type of battery with unprecedented energy density. During the development process, a visiting researcher from a partner university contributes a crucial design improvement, but is not listed as an inventor on the patent application. The patent is subsequently granted, and the battery becomes commercially successful. What are the potential legal implications of failing to name the visiting researcher as an inventor. What remedies might be available to the omitted inventor, and how could this impact the validity and enforceability of the patent?
