I work for a non-profit organization. I am a co-inventor
on a patent which I assigned my rights to the organization
as a matter of my employment. The organization has licensed
the invention to a company and it looks like there may
be royalites coming to the organization because of the
invention. The organization now says it cannot support
my salary for more than 1/2 of this year, so I will be forced
to resign. If I resign, do I give up all hope of ever
receiving any part of the royalites from any of the
patents I have assigned to the organization...or in
my letter of resignation, should I state that this
resignation does not give up any rights to royalities
I would receive from patents on which I am an inventor
and those royalities I would have received as a consequence
of my employment? Thanks
