- Q. If I am inventor on a patent owned by the corporation I work for and the patent gets licensed, am I entitled to paymnt?
- A: You've asked an important question, that comes up often with employees, and the answer is somewhat complicated.
In their employment agreements, many employers these days require new employees to assign any and all rights to their new inventions to the company. They also typically require employees to identify their inventions preexisting the employer-employee relationship, to draw a boundary between what is the employee's versus what will belong to the company once the relationship commences.

- Q. Daughter is a paraplegic & purchased a glide n go. She has been injured and burned. How to get help, $ back & return it?
- A: It sounds like an awful situation and that your daughter is having to deal with this situation. It's unlikely counsel will want to take the case on contingency unless if the device has caused serious injury, because the damages even for what you've mentioned aren't sufficient. Court cases are very expensive in terms of resources and cost, and counsel would be doing this work essentially free of charge unless and until there is a settlement, which the manufacturer realizes. I'm surprised the company wouldn't wish to provide a refund, especially these days, given the vast impact of social media. (As always, this is not legal advice.)
