c. Supposing Joab got wind of the inventions of his employees and also laid claim to the
patents, asserting that Cezar and Francis were using his materials and company time in
making the devices, will his claim prevail over those of his employees? Explain.
The claim of Joab will not prevail over those of his employees, even if they used his
materials and company time in making the gas-saving device. The invention of the gas-
saving device is not part of their regular duties as employees. (Sec. 30.2a, IPC)
