...just sign off on their ideas to the company they work for and never get the kudos they should.
Just to make a note, typically, anytime an engineer, chemist, biologist, etc. are hired by an employer they sign a document pretty much giving up any and all rights to any intellectual property developed for the company and or anything related to the company's business (within a designated time period after employment) if done outside of normal work hours. It's not that we just give this up. We don't have to sign that paper, but then again, that company doesn't have to hire us either. Just my thoughts on that. You would be truly surprised how many patents I see on engineer's desks while the company reaps all of those benefits. 'Tis just the way things work.
Ride On!
