It’s not really possible to give specific advice without knowing which jurisdiction you’re in. In most European countries there are laws that govern employee inventions and grant a share of the profits of an invention to the employee (in Germany e.g. the Mitarbeitererfindungsgesetz). Besides advising you to talk to a lawyer - which people already did here - there’s really little to say without knowing more details. If you can provide at least the country your employer is based in it might allow people to give more specific advice.
- mdni007 7y agoDid you type out that entire German word without referring to Google?
- pjc50 7y agoNative speakers can usually spell words in their own language. But really it's just a compound, just without any camel or snake case to indicate the word boundaries. Mitarbeiterer_findungs_gesetz : "employee invention law". Where Mitarbeiterer can be further broken into "mit arbeit -erer". Mit=with, arbeit=work, and -erer is a suffix also used in English for "person who does a thing".
- abdusco 7y agoSmall nitpick: it's more like: Mit-Arbeit-er + Erfindungs + Gesetz. There's no -erer suffix, the first -er makes Arbeit + er (= work + er). Second one belongs to the word Erfindung (= invention)
- ThePhysicist 7y agoIt's basically just three words without spaces: Mitarbeiter-Erfindung(s)-Gesetz (employee-invention-law). The 's' is used to join the words. No dictionary needed :)
