People, this link talks about "inventions". Nothing else is included in this. Please do not generalize this to "work". If you invent something while adhering to the statutes stated here, and write software implementing that invention, then the invention would belong to you. But the software doesn't! Software is subject to copyrights, not inventions.

Regardless of the word used, this law does apply to copyrighted works in practice. "Invention" is used in the sense of "creations".

  That would be excellent. How can I confirm this?

    IANAL, but I know there are existing cases. I confirmed it through a friend who's been doing HR here for years. So: either lawyers or HR people or both, I suppose.
