• Invent with Nokia enables inventors to submit invention proposals to Nokia, and encourage them to sign up as approved inventor participants. • Track record and potential future inventors can be former Nokia employees, professors and students from universities and employees of startups or individuals. • Financial compensation and other perks are provided to the external inventor in return for full IP rights for successful inventions. • Legal rights of both inventor and Nokia are protected via the Invent with Nokia online platform. • Internal Nokia employees can co-invent with the IWN inventor using Nokia’s internal IPR process/systems, resulting in a joint invention that you can proudly have with each other.
