'Who gets the patent?'

If he had the idea and you did the work, your name should be on the
patent as well as his as co-inventor. I've got my name on three
patent applications that way.

Absolutely nothing. There are different reward systems for different

"Should"?
This is far too strong a word. Did Bob work under the close
direction of the inventor, or, during the process of doing the
work, did Bob make a significant original contribution to the
invention?

This is a perfect way to invalidate a patent!!!
Only people who contribute to the novel IDEA should be named as inventors.
If taken to court, someone only has to prove that anyone on the patent is not
a co-inventor or that a real co-inventor is not listed in order to invalidate
the patent and put the idea into the public domain. I am not a lawyer but
have been avised of this by lawyers during filing of several of my patents.

Yes this might be true but co-inventing a patent and actually implementing
the idea are to different things.

This is my point exactly.....implementation is not the patentable thing
(therefore not co-inventor eligible), only idea generation is patentable.
