The declaration shall contain the information, in the employee’s possession, sufficient to enable the employer to assess the classification of the invention in one of the categories provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article L. 611-7. This information concerns: 1° The purpose of the invention and the applications envisaged; 2° The circumstances in which it was made, for example: instructions or directives received, experience or work of the…
