Might get my name on a ex-company patent. This is a nice line in my LinkedIn but that’s about it, right?

From what I read the patent's rights go to my ex-company, the manager there wanted my name to be in it since I was one of the founding team member spearheading it. He didn't need to but insisted, which I thanked him for.

What else is this good for except something to put in my resume?
