Supreme Court dismissed appeal; employer not bound to consider quality improvement effects for inventor remuneration.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling awarding remuneration for an employee invention. The appellant argued that the employer should have increased the inventor's pay based on quality improvements to the product, but the court held that statutory remuneration is based solely on the effects achieved through the application of the project. Consequently, the employer was not obligated to calculate remuneration considering market price increases resulting from quality enhancements.
