The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an inventor against the General Mining Institute regarding a royalty payment for a technical invention. The inventor argued that the production of gas level indicators constituted an anti-import project warranting a higher reward under specific regulations. The court found that the production did not actually replace imported goods and failed to demonstrate the required economic effect of limiting imports. Consequently, the court ruled that the lower court correctly applied the law and rejected the claim for increased remuneration.
