this I understand. I am only worried that their main assets are "people".
They still do research. I think this might be the weakest link of this company

When you create an invention while employed, who owns the right to acquire a patent: you or your employer? The general rule is that you own the patent rights to the invention unless:
•you signed an employment agreement assigning invention rights, or
•you were specifically hired (even without a written agreement) for your inventing skills or to create the invention.

Even if your employer does not acquire ownership under one of these two methods, the employer may still acquire a limited right to use your patent (called a shop right) without paying you. Shop rights are discussed below. Keep in mind that simply because an individual is employed does not necessarily grant the employer ownership of the patent. Each situation must be evaluated on its own set of fact
