نویسندگان
چکیده
Germany is one of few countries in which the monetary compensation for inventors is not only determined by negotiations between employer and employee inventor, but also by relatively precise legal provisions.. In this paper, we discuss the characteristics of the German Employees’ Invention Act (GEIA) and discuss which incentives or disincentives it creates. We rely on qualitative evidence from expert interviews as well as responses from a recent survey of 3,350 German inventors. We can conclude from our data that the GEIA creates substantial monetary rewards for productive inventors. However, the qualitative responses from our survey also point to a number of dysfunctional effects.
