when employees change jobs, they take their knowledge with them, resulting in knowledge flows between firms (Chesbrough, 2003).

The researcher as a stakeholder wants protection for his/her creative work and wants credit for scientific career through being acknowledged as the inventor in scientific publications.
and the Act on the Right in Employee Inventions (656/1967). Basic principles of the Act on the Right to University Inventions (369/2006) The Act on the Right to University Inventions regulates the protection
and rights of patentable inventions created by employees of the Finnish universities. The allocation of rights regarding the research-initiated IPR depends on the nature of the research.
Open research is done (Act, Sec. 3) under employment in the university, without outside financing or contractual partners.
Inventions in employment The law on Inventions in Employment (656/1967) concerns the allocation and protection of rights to inventions made under conditions of employment
as a result of the employer's line of work (the work he was agreed, commissioned or ordered to do), or while essentially utilising experience gathered in the employer's service,
the employer may, wholly or in part, claim the right to the invention. The legal precondition is that the use of the invention must be within the employer's line of business.
There is one exception to this rule if the employee was ordered specifically to carry out a specific task.
In certain special circumstances the employer may gain a right to use the invention, even if there is no IPR exclusivity transfer.
The inventor must make a disclosure of the invention to the employer. The employer must claim the right within four months of the disclosure.
The employee has a right to equitable remuneration. Comparing legal principles inventions in employment vs university inventions The acts described above have common features
and partly a common philosophical background too There are however some important differences: it can be said that the University Inventions Act leaves it essentially for the university
and the inventor to agree who will be the owner of IP and the primary responsible for the utilisation of the invention.
The second feature drawing attention is that the university gets the rights primarily in sponsored research,
which could be regarded as somewhat contradictory to the idea of incentivising investment to research. A researcher, who is employed by the university,
is working under conditions of open research. He has the privilege of exploiting his inventions and gain the rights for himself.
Comparing this to the Inventions in Employment Act leads to several conclusions: in regular employment, the position of the employer is provided stronger
the exploitation of the invention belongs to the line of business of the employer. Roughly speaking, the inventions created in employment belong to the employer in lack of important contradictory arguments.
In modern research and development, the invention is not necessarily a byproduct, but the result of conscious effort to create something new for commercialisation purposes.
As a rule, the creation of inventions is the reason for the hiring of the inventor in the first place.
The employer is investing and taking risk for the R & D in order to create competitive advantage for business purposes.
Even the researcher is seen not as an employee, but a torchbearer for research and civilised or even sophisticated society.
