掛名

Chinese to English Law/Patents Law (general)
掛名發明人

比如并沒有參與發明的工作,卻把自己的名字加到真正的發明人名字之後,以取得惠益。是受到公司支持的做法。為了沾光。

straw, front 可能都不好,因為真正發明人名字也列出來了。

nominal? piggybacking?

謝謝

claim/take/receive undeserved credits

For you reference. The names of those who make contributions are usually listed on a credit list. For those who don't provide any input but still get their names listed, they actually "claim/take/receive undeserved credits".

Oh well, if "undeserved" sounds too strong, maybe "claim credits" will do...

name attached to ...

我沒有自己的發明,但是有掛名申請專利,因為掛名申請專利可以拿公司的獎金。}
I don't have my own [real] invention but I have got my name attached to a pending patent, because attaching my name to a patent entitles me to get company bonus.

In academia, it some times happens that someone's name is attached to a paper for the sake of the name rather than for any work done.

false inventor

http://biojudiciary.org/subpage1.asp?tid=150

a willful decision not to include a true inventor on the application (or to add a false inventor) does comprise inequitable conduct, and cannot be corrected. In institutional inventions, such decisions may arise with respect to improper assertions of the involvement of senior faculty, assertions regarding the lack of involvement of junior researchers and non-degreed technicians, and the failure to name inventors that may be affiliated with other institutions.
