If one wants to produce a genuine list of Goan inventors who hold Indian and/or international patents, besides investigating their Goan origin or ancestry, one needs to verify whether they have an authentic patent granted or at least a pending patent application. The best way to do that is the following.
Whenever one is provided a name of a person who is claimed to be an inventor, one can plug that name in the search engines of the following genuine patent search websites: https://worldwide.espacenet.com/ https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/search.jsf https://ppubs.uspto.gov/pubwebapp/static/pages/landing.html https://iprsearch.ipindia.gov.in/publicsearch https://patents.google.com/ It is usually not prudent to rely on self-published lists or websites, including Wikipedia, even if they belong to a company, organization or academic institution.
