    Two inventors filed a patent application. However, following the submission, but before allowance, both inventors die. What will happen to the application?

    Who paid the issue fee? How can an application which we only know has been filed, make it all the way to issue without someone intervening? Even if the application was perfect and immediately allowed, if the inventors are dead how did it not go abandoned for failure to timely pay the issue fee?
