Are you one who likes to invent at work? Imagine you're at
your job and have just come up with a brilliant new innovation.
You've created a better mousetrap, a breakthrough computer
program, a toy that sells millions or perhaps a car that runs on
water.
Who exactly owns this innovation - you or your boss? You've
used your skills and ingenuity to invent the product. However, your
employer had you on their payroll while you worked to develop the
invention.
Laws governing ownership of invention
Whether you or your employer have ownership over your invention
largely depends on whether you developed it in your own time using
your own equipment, or at your workplace using your employer's
equipment and the work was part of your job.
