Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Texas
Assignee transfer after bankrupcy
I worked for a start-up biotech firm, for which I developed several
inventions. My work agreement stipulated that I would agree to
assign my inventions to the company for zero compensation. Iwas
laid off and the company went bankrupt before any assignations
were signed or patents filed. The intellectual property is said to
have been acquired by a limited partnership of former company
investors. Am I still required to assign my inventions to the LP,
even though I have never had a contractual relation with them?

Yes, assuming they can show they are the legitimate assignees.
