Quote Alexey Leonidovich Pajitnov (Russian: Алексей Леонидович Пажитнов, Aleksei Leonidovich Pazhitnov; born 14 March 1956) is a Russian computer engineer, currently residing in the United States, who developed the popular game Tetris while working for the Computing Center of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, a Soviet government-founded R&D center. Despite being the developer of Tetris, Pajitnov did not profit from his creation, as rights were OWNED by his employer, the Soviet government, which distributed it freely throughout the USSR and Eastern Europe.[1] He only started profiting from his creation by 1996 when he and Henk Rogers formed The Tetris Company.[2] http://uk.ask.com/wiki/Alexey_Pajitnov Anybody want a job in Russia?Not just Russia, my friend. I've worked at two different places where signing contracts with them said they owned any developed intellectual property. One even went so far as to STIPULATE that they owned anything developed by me, independently...even if it wasn't related. Since the only thing I'm likely to develop is a headache, it was no problem for me to SIGN. Corporations can be just the same.Actually, that's pretty common in the US , and probably most other countries. If you work for a corporation, DEPENDING on your contract and legal obligations with the corporation, any copyrights and patents belong to the corporation, based on the fact that they are paying you to create stuff. Some companies have incentives like profit sharing to encourage innovation, and some don't.
