ACT ON THE RIGHT IN INVENTIONS MADE AT HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
Section 1 Scope of the Act
This Act applies to inventions patentable in Finland and made by persons employed by Finnish higher education institutions (HEI) during employment.
This Act also applies to inventions patentable in Finland and made at Finnish higher education institutions by persons holding a research post funded by the Academy of Finland.
If under this Act the HEI claims a right in the invention which will restrict the inventor's right to apply for a patent for the invention, the invention will be deemed to be an invention patentable in Finland, unless the HEI presents probable reasons for obstacles to the grant of a patent.
