Employee Inventions

The German Act on Employees Inventions (Arbnehmererfindergesetz) is a frequently unfavored law, especially for German but even foreign enterprises pushing ahead inventions in Germany, which were made by their employees and bringing them to the market. This is due to the fact that according to the German Act on Employees Inventions, a company making use of an invention, has to pay a remuneration in addition to the basic salary to an employee who has made this invention.
