Supreme Court dismissed appeal, ruling administrative regulations exceeding statutory authority lack general binding force.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Jakub M. against a lower court's dismissal of his claim for increased remuneration. The dispute centered on whether an 1986 administrative regulation could include user-side quality improvements as a basis for calculating inventor compensation. The court held that the regulation exceeded the statutory authorization granted by the Invention Act and violated the principle of legal certainty, thereby lacking the status of general binding law.
