Document background
The Employee Invention Assignment And Confidentiality Agreement is essential for Swiss companies employing individuals who may create intellectual property or have access to confidential information during their employment. This document, governed by Swiss law, establishes clear ownership rights over employee-created inventions and innovations while ensuring compliance with Swiss Patent Act requirements for fair compensation. It protects the company's intellectual property and confidential information through legally enforceable provisions, while respecting employee rights under Swiss law. The agreement is particularly crucial for companies in innovative sectors and should be implemented at the start of employment or when an employee transitions to a role involving intellectual property creation or access to sensitive information.
