The Supreme Court partially allowed the appellant's cassation against a lower court judgment dismissing his claim for invention remuneration. The appellant argued the one-year limitation period expired, while the lower court relied on a prior arbitration award and the specific nature of the claim. The Court ruled that the one-year limitation period in the Civil Code applies exclusively to disputes between state-owned entities and therefore does not bar the claim against the non-state-owned cooperative.
