Polish Supreme Court dismisses appeal; inventor's right to remuneration is separate property, spousal consent not needed.

The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal filed by inventors against a lower court ruling that rejected their claim for remuneration. The inventors argued that waiving future financial benefits required spousal consent under family law, claiming the right belonged to joint marital property. The court held that the right to remuneration constitutes separate property and waiving the claim does not involve disposing of existing marital income, thus spousal consent is unnecessary.
