Contract
ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT
In cases where the inventor does not have a service relationship with an employer, i.e. is not an employee of a person, the patent right ownership belongs to the inventor. The inventor may make an economic gain by transferring the right to apply for an invention and the patent rights after registration according to his economic means. In this case, the assignee becomes the new patent right holder.
EMPLOYEMENT CONTRACT
In cases where the inventor works under an employer, i.e. where there is a labour or service contract between the parties, or where an agreement is reached to make a certain invention, the patent right owner is the employer. In this case, the working inventor has the right to receive a fee for his invention. In order to avoid a dispute between the parties, this fee and service conditions must be determined before the employment relationship begins. In the event that a price is not determined or the parties cannot agree, the inventor may request compensation from the employer through litigation.
