Summary
Application under section 13(1) was filed by Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. to mention Peter Besselink as a joint inventor.

As such, the comptroller considered the application to be unopposed and found that Peter Besselink should be mentioned as a joint inventor in the published patent applications and granted patents for the inventions. The comptroller also directed that an addendum slip be prepared mentioning Peter Besselink as a joint inventor for the published patent applications and granted patents for the inventions.
