Employee Invention Law

The employee invention law offers challenges for employers and employee inventors. We will gladly assist you with these challenges!

Reconciliation of interests

An employee who has performed a service is obliged to report it immediately to the employer. All asset related rights are automatically transferred to the employer (utilization), if the employer does not release the invention. In return, the employee shall be entitled to reasonable remuneration from the employer. Frequently, the amount of remuneration is a dispute between the employer and the employee.

Security for both parties is created by purchase and lump-sum payment agreements, which in turn provide financial security for the employee and, on the other hand, minimize the administrative burden of the employer.

We advise both employers and employees on all matters relating to employee invention law, whether it is mandatory to register inventions, the claim, the remuneration in case of claim, or also the mutual rights and obligations in the acquisition and the task of property rights.

Other special topics include advice on university affiliations as well as inventions of members of the executive body such as managing directors and board members.
