Beitrittserklärung zu den Verpflichtungen des Prüfers

Sie verpflichten sich gegenüber ABC (Pharma-Konzenr), der Klinik alle Diensterfindungen sowie Entdeckungen und Verbesserungen nach § 5 Arbeitnehmererfindungsgesetz zu melden und der Klinik die jeweiligen Erfinderanteile zu benennen. Sie verzichten im Bezug auf alle im Zusammenhang mit dem Vertrag erzielten Arbeitsergebnisse gegenüber ABC auf die Geltendmachung Ihres negativen Publikationsrechtes aus § 42 Nr. 2 Arbeitnehmererfindungsgesetz. Darüber hinaus verpflichten Sie sich, ihr gesetzliches Nutzungsrecht nach § 42 Nr. 3 ArbNErfG nur auszuüben, soweit es für ABC nicht patentschädlich ist.

Ich kann mir vor allem nicht vorstellen, was hier mit negativ gemeint ist. VDiV

Explanation:
explanation:

In keinem Fall darf der Erfinder aber vor der Freigabe die Erfindung selbständig zum Schutzrecht anmelden. Ein Verstoß hiergegen ist grundsätzlich eine Dienstpflichtverletzung.

Nach § 42 des Arbeitnehmererfindungsgesetzes kann der Hochschulmitarbeiter/ die Hochschulmitarbeiterin, der/die eine Erfindung gemacht hat, wählen, ob er dies seiner Umwelt mitteilen möchte oder nicht.

Wenn er/sie nicht darüber sprechen und/oder schreiben möchte, braucht er/sie „nur“ zu schweigen (sog. Negatives Publikationsrecht).

Explanation:
It's occasionally been translated as "negative publication freedom" (2 or 3 googles).

It does seem, however, that it's not necessarily just about publication - which suggests an article in some kind of academic journal - but more about communicating information on inventions at all.
