"Although employers are required to pay compensation for employee inventions under the laws in many countries, existing legal literature has never critically examined whether such compensation actually gives employee inventors an incentive to invent as the legislature intends. This book addresses the issue through reference to recent, large-scale surveys on the motivation of employee inventors (in Europe, the United States and Japan) and studies in social psychology and econometrics, arguing that the compensation is unlikely to boost the motivation, productivity and creativity of employee inventors, and thereby encourage the creation of inventions. It also discusses the ownership of inventions made by university researchers, giving due consideration to the need to ensure open science and their academic freedom. Challenging popular assumptions, this book provides a solution to a critical issue by arguing that compensation for employee inventions should not be made mandatory regardless of jurisdiction because there is no legitimate reason to require employers to pay it. This means that patent law does not need to give employee inventors an 'incentive to invent' separately from the 'incentive to innovate' which is already given to employers."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

The economic and international property relations between German-based research and development facilities and their employees are extensively defined under German law. Businesses with R & D resources in Germany cannot afford to be less than knowledgeable in this area, particularly concerning the provisions of Germany's Law of Employees' Inventions. This practical guide for professionals and managers in patent and HR departments, both in Germany and abroad, provides a quick and reliable introduction to this important law. Among the book's very useful features are the following: - an expert overview on all relevant practical problems which might arise from employees' inventions in Germany; - diagrams which visualize how service inventions are treated from the moment that they are created to the final remuneration; - checklists that sum up in a nutshell the guidance for making decisions regarding employees' inventions and R & D co- operations with German universities; - forms (like Template for Registering InventionsA") that serve as an extensive briefing for employers and can, in principle, be used worldwide, even for expatriates; - a synoptic bilingual presentation of the text of the Act and the Official Remuneration Guidelines; and - a glossary of essential keywords in both English and German. Business persons who deal with employees' inventions and R & D in Germany will find this handbook to be of immeasurable value, both as an initial orientation and then as a constantly useful guide with answers to virtually all problems likely to arise in the course of the legal work entailed by R & D in Germany.

In today?s knowledge-based global economy, most inventions are made by employed persons through their employers? research and development activities.0However, methods of establishing rights over an employee?s intellectual property assets are relatively uncertain in the absence of international solutions. Given that increasingly more businesses establish entities in different countries and more employees co-operate across borders, it becomes essential for companies to be able to establish the conditions under which ownership subsists in intellectual property created in employment relationships in various countries.0This comparative law publication describes and analyses employers? acquisition of employees? intellectual property rights, first in general and then in depth as manifested in 33 jurisdictions worldwide. The book was developed within the framework of the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI), a non-affiliated, non-profit organization dedicated to improving and promoting the protection of intellectual property at both national and international levels.
