Question(s) Presented

“Whether an assignment agreement must use ‘present tense words of execution’ and not ‘passive verbs in indefinite or future tense’ to automatically transfer title to a future invention, as the majority held, or whether it can—regardless of the form of language used—transfer title by specifying who owns the future inventions and requiring ‘no further act . . . once an invention comes into being,’ as precedent holds.”
