Article R611-6 of the French Intellectual Property Code

Within a period of two months, the employer shall give its agreement to the classification of the invention resulting from the employee’s declaration or, in the event that the classification is not indicated, shall inform the employee, by means of a reasoned communication, of the classification that it retains.

The two-month period runs from the date of receipt by the employer of the employee’s declaration containing the information provided for in Article R. 611-2 or, in the event of a recognised and justified request for additional information, the date on which the declaration was completed.

An employer who does not take a position within the prescribed time limit is presumed to have accepted the classification resulting from the employee’s declaration.

Article R611-6

Dans un délai de deux mois, l’employeur donne son accord au classement de l’invention résultant de la déclaration du salarié ou, en cas de défaut d’indication du classement, fait part au salarié, par une communication motivée, du classement qu’il retient.

Le délai de deux mois court à compter de la date de réception par l’employeur de la déclaration du salarié contenant les informations prévues à l’article R. 611-2 ou, en cas de demande de renseignements complémentaires reconnue justifiée, de la date à laquelle la déclaration a été complétée.

L’employeur qui ne prend pas parti dans le délai prescrit est présumé avoir accepté le classement résultant de la déclaration du salarié.
