I would like to know of any recent changes (last 2-3 yrs) in the patent laws that are of particular significance to engineers. For example, do engineers working for companies have any additional rights aside from the agreements that they sign when they hired? Another example, if an individual assigns his patent to a company (of which he is not an employee) does he still have some rights to his invention? Are there circumstances under which he could still produce and sell the invention on his own even though he had assigned the rights to someone else? -- Ronald A. Iltis UCSB Dept. ECE
