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 : Dear Eugene, : It probably depends on the terms of the employment agreement. : M.
