Who owns IP rights in an employee relationship? And how do these rights differ between employment law in China, Germany and North America?

Andrew Bratt, Head of the National Labour Employment Law Practice in Gowling WLG Canada, hosts the next episode of our 'Employment law in China' series, and is joined by guests Annette Knoth, Head of Labour and Employment in our Frankfurt office, and Elliot Papageorgiou, Head of IP Strategy and Enforcement in China.

They discuss the complex landscape of IP rights in employment, delving into key issues that may affect your business, including:

• Employees' rights to remuneration for an invention created
• How to avoid disputes over remuneration policies
• How to affectively compensate employees for their inventions, whether it be a patent or trade secret.
• How companies can protect their trade secrets
