Labor and Employee Invention Law

Labor Law is more than just drafting an employment contract. The legal challenges of compliance regulations within the application process can get tricky starting at Data Protection Law to compliance with anti-discrimination laws. If the company has a work council, there are many rules which dictate the need of involvement of such a committee in many employment processes. Employment contracts must be designed to reflect reality and ensure maximum flexibility and protection. This applies to the protection of trade secrets, which, like employee inventions, are legally at the intersection of employment law and intellectual property law.

Arbeitnehmerfindungen erzeugen nicht nur fristgebundenen Entscheidungsdruck, sondern – so gibt es das Arbeitnehmererfindungsgesetz (ArbnErfG) vor – können auch zusätzliche Vergütungsansprüche begründen und Anträge auf Schutzrechtserteilung erfordern. Zudem werden bereits bloße technische Verbesserungsvorschläge vom Anwendungsbereich des ArbnErfG erfasst.
