Yes, and they used PUBLIC resources to develop these private patents. Ask the guys who work in Corporate America and have to sell their patents for $1.00 back to the employer because they used COMPANY resources to develop their patents.....IS THIS FAIR?
It’s outrageous and disgusting.
That's incorrect. I have patents that belong to companies, but it is because I agreed to it in the employment agreement.
If you want to work for someone else and keep your intellectual property you must negotiate it in the employment agreement (good luck getting hired).
