Intellectual property rights

These rights contain both personal and property rights. The personal rights of the inventor means that the person who created the invention is supposed to be the inventor. The law differentiates the service and the employee inventions.

Service invention is an invention made by a person who, by reason of his employment, is under the obligation to develop solutions in the field of the invention. The right to a patent for a service invention belongs to the employer as successor in title to the inventor.

Employee invention  is an invention made by a person who, without being under an obligation by reason of his employment, makes an invention, the exploitation of which falls within the field of business of his employer. The right to a patent for an employee invention belongs to the inventor, but the employer has a non-exclusive, non-transferable right of exploitation.
