It is not uncommon for employees to develop ideas or innovations in the course of their work which increase the efficiency of operational procedures or improve products manufactured in the company. Such inventions in the workplace must be reported to the employer. \n <\/p>\n

BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT partner and patent attorney Prof. Dr. Heinz Goddar answers these questions in his detailed article “Company invention – and now?”, published in the trade magazine “Arbeitsrecht im Betrieb” (Labour Law at Work), issue 9\/2021. \n <\/p>\n
