Companies and Patents

[Alexandre Dulaunoy]

At Cisco, it's like that too. You have also an online patent registration 
for the employee. (and you also get your name on the patent wall)

Of course, the copyright holder is Cisco and only Cisco. 

I hope we can see in future a wall with all the employee doing Free 
Software under a "copyleft" style license. 

Software Patent is really a pain.
