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

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.

The employer is investing and taking risk for the R & D in order to create competitive advantage for business purposes.

In Finland, there is an exception regarding computer programming the IP of computer programming belongs to the employer,
