My Coworker Filed a Patent on My Design the First Day After They Laid Me Off...

Описание: They laid you off on Friday and filed your patent on Monday.

This story starts with a badge shutting off and ends with the official record being forced back into the truth. It isn't about taking the patent away from the company. It's about a coworker trying to steal authorship and a quiet engineer answering with commit history, draft emails, and dates nobody could argue with.

🎮 In this story:

— A Friday layoff that removes the engineer from the building right before the filing push
— A Monday patent queue screenshot showing his coworker listed as the sole inventor
— A private Git repo with timestamped revisions, prototype logs, and failure history going back to day one
— A draft email written before termination warning that the inventor list was already being manipulated
— Outside counsel forced to compare polished office talk against real technical evidence
— A formal inventorship correction that puts the right name back on the work

This isn't a story about patent ownership. This is about how often the quiet guy gets treated like he's safe to erase until somebody has to answer the documents line by line.
