Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Louisiana

Employee vs employer patents

Where can I find legal information regard obtaining an individual/empl... patent for use at my company?

Presently working by contract with an offshore company and would like to patent a design. Would my company, or the contracted company be a co-owner? Would I receive royalties? Or should I draw up a contract that says they can have use as long as I am still with the company/contract company?

Re: Employee vs employer patents

your email addresses a number of intellectual property issues. The inventor is the owner of the patent (unless an assignment is executed)...you can find further information by going to the United States Patent and Trademark Office website....if you cannot find the information there I recommend contacting a patent attorney
