RE: What happened to Howard Rogers ?

I once worked for an excellent company, Southwest Research Institute, in the USA. As part of my employment agreement, I had to sign a paper saying ANY patent I was granted belonged to the company. It didn't matter if it was on my own time or not anything the company was doing. "Any" was the operative word.
