Abstract

In 1934, the London Conference on the revision of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property proposed the creation of various inventor’s moral rights. This chapter examines their background from the resolution of the Advisory Committee on Professional Workers in 1929 to the conference itself. While only one moral right was granted – the right to be identified – two others were considered at length, namely the “right” for employee inventors to sharing the benefit of their inventions and the right to communicate their work to the scientific community while not jeopardising their patent by way of creating a grace period. Even though these rights were not granted they remained on the international political agenda for debates, and still today remained unresolved.
