This legal update includes a review of the Israeli Supreme Court ruling, rejecting a petition by Dr. Ruth Levy challenging a decision of the Compensation and Royalties Committee in the Ministry of Justice under the Patents Law to deny her royalties for inventions she developed during her employment.

The ruling deals with the limited right of an employee to receive royalties for service inventions, and for the first time clarifies the starting date of the statute of limitations for the employee’s right to claim such royalties.
