Supreme Court dismissed appeal on inventor remuneration, ruling energy savings must be primary project goal.

The Supreme Court dismissed both parties' cassation appeals in a dispute over inventor remuneration for a coal mine efficiency project. The plaintiffs argued their invention saved energy and materials, while the defendant claimed the project's primary purpose was not energy reduction. The court ruled that the statutory provision requiring energy savings as the main goal was not met because the project's primary effect was increased productivity, not fuel conservation.
