In some patents the employee-inventors are listed together with the institution as assignees. What difference does it make for the inventors to be listed as assignees? Does this give the employees-inventors assignee rights at the same level as the institution? If I am preparing a patent as inventor in my company should I claim to have my name listed as assignee together with the company's name?
If in the future I am not working for the same co., should they contact me in case they are receiving royalties for a patent where I am one of several assignees?
