SIPO Released Its Latest Draft of Service Invention Regulations
The Service Invention Regulations have been discussed for three rounds, and the SIPO recently released its lastly-revised version to the public.
The draft appears to adhere to the principle that gives priority to contracts or agreements between employers and employees. However, minimal compensation standards are set in the draft to be applied to employee compensation claims. It also maintains protections for inventors when a patent disclosure is not filed for a patent and maintained as a trade secret, but the enterprise has benefited from the invention.
