Employee
Inventions
The vast majority of technological inventions originate from the research departments of industrial companies.
The inventors and thus the basic owners of the inventor rights, e.g. on a later patent, the employees of the respective company are employed there. There is a collision of different legal positions in employee invention law. The inventor right under patent law means that the inventor is entitled to the right to an invention. For companies, however, this would not be a sustainable situation – after all, inventions are made in the context of the employment relationship for the company.
